>I have an old dbase report that I want to reuse instead of using an .frx. This report prints to a pre-formatted form on a dot-matrix. I've been fighting with the .frx version for weeks and decided it's time to get out the old dbase code.

Nothing happens but when I issue SET PRINTER TO DEFAULT the output that has apparently been queued up suddenly dumps to the printer. FYI, I'm using a generic/text only printer driver with an Okidata ML320 if that helps.


Because of the Windows environment vs DOS, you need to put a "Set Printer To" command at the end of the report to flush the report to the windows print spooler, kind of like an eject.
