There are two issues with this:

1. This in very inconvenient to users. Many times report is previewed only and this question in unnessecary.

2. Reports are modeless (I'm using NOWAIT clause). No idea how to detect and attach code to VFP preview window closing event in case of modeless reports.

Maybe it is possible to create some custom pront button for modeless reports and remove default print button.
