>Last week, some of my colleagues had a wierd problem in one of the modules that we are developping in VFP. In this particular module, a report is being generated of about 4 tables which are part of a relationship. In total this report contains about 5 text fields, a LOGO and 5 memo fields. When printed (on any printer), it prints about 50 pages and then starts skipping pages ang goes through about nearly 6000 pages with blank memos. This happens only if the memo fields are described as stretchable. When we contacted Microsoft, they thought that it might be a bug in VFP and suggested we use VFP 5.0. Has anybody heard about this problem? If so, could you give me some pointers please? Also is there a way in VFP3.0 to print only specific pages (using page no.s like in FOxpro 2.6 for WINDOWS)?

When I first got VFP3 I converted a report from 2.6 that had large memo at the end with the setings to stretch on next page. When I converted this to VFP3 the memo printed one line at the top of 55 pages. The stretch was not the same because of the relitive position to the band. Beacuse the band exicuted at the end of the page, I expected to see the memo stretch with the next page (did in 2.6) but insted it stayed only at top of page. I don't have the report any more (left that compay) but seems to me I put a band with a Print when .t. in and then the memo stretched as expected for the next 4 pages. This is all off the back of my head but I remember that I found a work around with a extra band. Best of luck
