>I have a clint running a custom app that is now experiencing random problems with check runs. Every now and then, the first few checks (2 to 5, so far) never make it to the printer. There is a single table that feeds the check report form, there is no filter set, and the table shows that all checks were printed; yet sometimes the first couple of checks never make it to the printer. The table typically will contain 10 to 15 checks, so we're not talking hudge print jobs.

SET PRINTER TO
NAME CHECKPRINTER
REPORT
FORM ...
What happens if you just put a prompt in the report form command. I don't say you do this in your final version but for test.
