It's not going to work because a printer driver will treat them as regular characters.

>Create a field at the end of the group, and put CHR(27)+CHR(109) as the expression to print. Then be very careful with the Print When expression to make sure the field prints only when it should - maybe manipulate a report variable. One way would be to have a variable a copy of the group expression, and print these two characters only when it's still different from the group expression - because you'll set it equal in a call to _vfp.docmd("yourvar=groupexpr") from the group's footer.
