Byron,

If these reports went through the DOS to Windows transporter, then the solution is simple. First, the reason. For some reason, the transporter sets the mode to opaque for these objects. In some cases, such as with some laser printers, the labels will print fine. In others, it won't.

Now the fix. Open the report as a table and issue the following from the command window:

REPLACE ALL MODE WITH 1 FOR INLIST(OBJTYPE, 5, 8) AND PLATFORM = 'WINDOWS'

and close the table. This will set the mode to transparent and should fix the problem.
