Lutz:

At first many thanks for answering me.

I don't know what you mean about dealing with this. Before posting my problem I though I should save the system default printer and just before "REPORT FORM..." execute "SET PRINTER TO NAME mySavedDefaultPrinter" and that would solve my problem. But perhatps there was another secret for this rare behavour.

It's a fact "prompt" the printer has a bug that will never be solved... What I wonder is why works fine until a new printer enters the scene.

Dankeschön
