>Have you tried widening the field on the report that is displaying the asterisks? VFP uses GDI/GDI+ and the printer driver to determine how it renders fonts and the width of the fields it things it needs. It's possible there is some slight difference between machines. If widening the fields makes the problem go away, you know that it was probably related to this.
I have our developer to reproduce the problem now.
I did widen the field a bit and it fixed the problem for that client. The developer uses Brother MFC7540W printer. I don't have a physical printer at my desk, so I'm using NovaPDF printer as my default printer. Could it be that because I'm using this printer I can not reliably predict the output on the different printers?
Also, I believe we're using REPORTBEHAVIOR 80 in our application.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
