Ya, the HP drivers really suck (AFA VFP goes). My HP4000 driver bombs simply by trying to view an overlapping line in a report (although it prints fine). Most VFPers blame HP for buggy drivers but when my users say "I don't have ANY problem with other programs" what am I to say?!

>> You are right. I was debugging on site and found out that it was the hp 4000 drivers that were causing the problem. I would appreciate any extra info you could give me on the subject.
>> I did install the dcom98.exe off of the VS6.0 cd. It did not seem to help.
>>It was happening when an object was initializing. I was thinking of trying an older hp driver. I have the computers mapped to an old hp II printer and it is working fine.
