Steve,

Is there a reason you aren't using the builtin REPORT PREVIEW?

If you want to stick with the older style ?/?? for the form display bag the printer entirely.

set alternate to test.txt
set alternate on
? "Line One"
? "Line Two"
set alternate off
set alternate to

append memo xyz from test.txt
thisform.Refresh() && assuming this code is running in a method on a form and the editbox is bound to the memo field

From the Print button I'd just build a report form and drop the memo field on it.

Also In VFP use the CommandButton.Click() method instead of the Valid() which is a hold-over to 2.x buttons.

>I am generating an on-the-fly report to the screen inside of a form. But I am not using a report. Instead I am using question marks to layout the lines one after another in the scrolling edit box that I am working inside of. I guess I should have mentioned the edit box earlier on. That has alot to do with what I'm doing.
