Title:
Odd Preview Window Behavior
I've been converting a VFP8 app to VFP9, and I am having issues with the default preview window when I've globally set the report behavior to 9.
To preview my reports, I open another form, which runs the report form command with the preview option. The report opens fine, but I can't use any of the report controls, and hitting escape is the only way to close the report. I get the same thing when I use the report form xxx.frx object type 1 syntax as well. This only happens when I am running my actual application(both through the VFP IDE and a compiled EXE), not when I call the report through the command window. The forms I am using are not modal, and this worked fine before vfp 9. Any ideas on what I may or may not be doing correctly? If anyone knows of any report preview window replacements I'd appreciate some tips as well. I've never liked the floating report toolbar that users can close while leaving the report window open.
Thanks,
