Fred: First, welcome to the UT. However, please type in lower case, as capitals imply you are "shouting" at us.

Second: Are you using VFP? If so, you don't need the SET PRINTER ON and SET PRINTER OFF commands. The code in the click() method of your Print Button should look like:

report form myform to printer

You can use the path if the report is in another subdirectory:

report form j:\foxprog\reports\myreport to printer

If you're getting an error message, please let us know what it is. It will help us help YOU.
