Hi Kevin,

PMFJI, but what's happening is that the printer driver is setting the math co-processor to a state where the calling application (in this case VFP) is expected to handle division by zero. VFP expects the co-processor to take care of it. See Q183522 in the MS Knowledge base for further details.
