>>>Could someone elaborate on what "similarly" means in this context? I'm moving a VFP8 SP1 app to VFP9 SP2, and I have 2 reports that are exhibiting "creep" running against a dot matrix printer. On any given page, I am losing 3 lines of detail, and this is pushing the footer off into thin air. By increasing the footer height, I can get my content back but a 1-2 inch footer is a bit much. I assumed setting 80 would give me backwards compatibility. Was I wrong?

Running it under Win2k or XP, different drivers, any number of combinations of fonts, and the result is consistent. VFP9, regardless of REPORTBEHAVIOR setting, stretches the report vertically. Recompile in VFP 8 and it runs properly. This may be the last straw for me.

Does the VFP 9 report look like the VFP 8 version, just stretched overall. Or is there extra spaces or other weird differences. There is a bug with data group headers that can leave extra white space when it overflows to a new page.
