Hi all.
I have a solution for the problem.

Look at the following code.

report form (cNomeReport) to file &lcTmpFile object type 2 noconsole

I forced my noOutput method to use the new report engine and as stated in help for this (2) object type:
"The ReportListener renders output page by page, but does not send it to a printer. You can use the output by writing code in the OutputPage method, which is invoked as each page is produced."

It works.. bah.. :-|

Eventually I ended my conversion of printing routines, using the 80 engine for normal preview and printings, and 90 for calculating page numbers and for previewing chained reports.

I hoped it would be a much simpler affair. :-x

Thank you all for ideas and support ;-)
