Agnes -

What I do is running the report and cycle trough the zooms using the "L" key. I can do up to two complete loops trough the zooms then it first doesn't paint the 150%. In the next rouund 300% blinks several times and 200% starts to endless loops. After that each change (zoom, number of visible pages) restarts the paint loop. Sometimes the loop stops after ESC or after clicking somewhere inside _VFP

Interesting. I haven't seen this myself. I tried previewing a report and cycling through zoom levels using repeated presses of the L key and I couldn't make it go into a loop.

I don't know why this would be happening for you.

It may be a timing problem of some kind. High-level zooms (like 500%) can be slow to repaint on some video hardware.
