Hi, Christian:

1. Your user could "print" one copy to an Adobe Acrobat PDF file, but you need to have the professional version of AA (they used to have an inexpensive printer driver available, but it seems to have disappeared).

2. If you are running your reports on a cursor you build specifically for the report, you could capture a snapshot of the data as it existed when the report was run. That would take some programming.

3. < there must be a third way! >

>It should normally not be possible for the user, to print one receipt manually twice, because it is a document. But what, if the printer strikes? So I would like to append the report info into a simple text file that the document-info is not lost, which should not be a problem. But I don't want to get this file too big. Say, after a while, the oldest entries should be deleted automatically, when a certain size of the file is reached.
