>Well BLANK FIELDS was a suggestion that i got from another thread while searching SyS(1037) command. In the help files for SYS() the notes indicated that the report need to be open exclusive before the SYS()command would work. Are you saying that the report table needs to be close before I run the SYS() command?

I don't have VFP here, but if memory serves, you just invoke SYS() command and you don't need to do anything special with the report if the Printer environment info is not saved with the report.
