Does the problem occur with only one particular report, or do all reports exhibit this problem? If it's just one report then we'll need to figure out what's so special about that report. Basically, once Foxfire! has run the query and built the FoxPro report form, the mechanism to preview the report is pure FoxPro. IOW, the line of code is simpy REPORT FORM ... PREVIEW.

There is however one difference, in that Foxfire! makes a Foxtools call just before running the report to change the mousepointer. Lately we have been getting some users calling in with API errors or some such ugly error when running in VFP 6. Removing the Foxtools call and replacing with _screen.mousepointer code solves the problem. I'm wondering if your hitting the same sort of problem.

Here's a quick experiment:

In FFCONFIG.PRG, Foxfire! shadow hook module, you can "turn off" Foxfire!s use of external libraries by setting the global variable m.PG_LOADLIBS to false. Recompile FFCONFIG and rerun Foxfire!. Does the error still occur?
