Hi Gurus....

Todays problem is this...............

I have some Reports I want to not only output to the Printer and Display, but also to a Text File.

The code uses this..................

Do Case
		Case mdisprt = "D"
			Report Form (lcFile) To Printer Prompt Preview &lcExtra
		Case mdisprt = "P"
			Report Form (lcFile) To Print Prompt Noconsole &lcExtra
		Case mdisprt = "F"
			Local lcOut
			lcOut  = Putfile()
			If Not Empty(lcOut)
				Report Form (lcFile) To File (lcOut) Ascii &lcExtra
			Endif
	Endcase

Printer and Display output great!

BUT...................

The File output is all scrunched up!!! Columns of data are cut off so that each row will fit in under 80 columns in the text file output.

Searching the help gives this.... the output for the text file is contolled by
_ASCIICOLS = somenumber.... where the default is 80.

The help says I can change this value and put it in the config.fpw file.

I tried that, but it didn't seem to have any effect (I set the output to 160 columns).

I even placed the _ASCIICOLS value on the report, so I could see its value.

Here is the config.fpw

MVCOUNT=3600
TITLE="Loading Horizon Application..."
SCREEN=OFF
STATUSBAR=OFF
TABLEVALIDATE=0
REPROCESS=30
_ASCIICOLS=160

And I made sure that the program used this config.fpw file on startup.

OK Gurus.... any ideas? Thanks!
