I have had a case with the customer that I verified (almost 99.99%) that the problem with Seek Offset was caused by "bad" printer driver. Once the customer replaced the printer the issue with Seek Offset went away. So it could be that Seek Offset is a problem of VFP "dealing" with "corruption" in the RAM (my guess).
