>>>Hi,
>>> In my apps thus far, I have issued either "to printer" or "preview" depending on the button click on a form to allow the user to view and/or print the report. This has never been a problem until one of my customers got another printer that they are running usuing a data switch. Dot matrix and Inkjet. So now they want the Windows prompt to choose the driver. When I issue the prompt and they select the printer, no matter which printer is chosen, the report is printed in the top left corner in an area about 3"x3". I have tried this on Okidata, HP, Lexmark, and a Xerox printer. All with the same result. What do I need to set to get the report to print as it does when issued with "to printer" directly? Thanks in Advance,
>>>Chris

Thanks for the info, George. It's good to know you can go straight thru to the latest version with one patch. I've worked on far too many mini systems that you had to apply each level of patches individually to get to the latest version. What a pain in the neck! (My opinion is actually somewhat lower than that) ;)
