>>I'm running into a weird issue on a client project. This is a large vertical market application that has a ton of reports created in FP2.6/Win that need to run in the VFP version of the application that we're creating. For the moment, we cannot convert them to VFP because they have to run in both versions.

>>On one of my machines, but not the other, when I run the reports in the VFP IDE, VFP crashes. I've confirmed via the Debugger that it's definitely happening in the REPORT FORM command, not in the code that precedes that. This happens when I run the report through the application or by setting up the data outside the application and then issuing REPORT FORM directly from the Command Window. If I convert the report to a VFP report, the problem goes away, but as I said, that's not a viable solution for now. And because of that, I can't see if I get more info by doing MODI REPO and then previewing

>I do recall running into conflicts with some printer drivers and FPW (basically having to do with how memory was being handled by the DOS Extender used in the runtime) -- using a different printer driver (usually one for an older model). was one of the workarounds -- the trick being that you have it appear as a different printer within Windows.

But wouldn't having a different printer set as Default in the first place (and I tried Generic/Text) solve the problem?

It occurs to me that I should say the REPORT FORM command includes PROMPT, but the crash occurs before the printer dialog appears.
