Brien,

There is an extensive article about VFP reports by Christof Lange in the October 98 issue of FoxPro Advisor, and one of the issues is "hiding" of moving the "Printing..." window out of sight. This is basically how you do it:

In the Title Band of your report (the report must have a title band, otherwise you could use the detail band) you place the expression HidePrtw(), where
******************
FUNCTION HidePrtw
******************
IF WEXIST("Printing...")
MOVE WINDOW ("Printing...") TO -100, -100
ENDIF
RETURN ("")

however, as mentioned in the article that will not prevent the Printing.. window to display for a fration of a second before is moved.
