Allen,
I found the problem was related to the PROMPT, and did NOT go away completely with either VFP5.0a or the SP3 upgrade. Try using GetPrinter() just before your REPORT FORM... command, in place of PROMPT. I haven't had any further problems since I changed to that format, despite users with all varieties of printers and networks.

I had them delete the application's directory before they installed again. I use the MS setup wizard for installation. Does it put some files in directories other than the app's target directory?
