Hi Bill

I do not know if this will help but the Eject command in VFP5 had a bug. If you send your report to disk you can see that the eject character is entered in the file in the wrong place. It was not put at the end of the print job but one line earlier before the last line of text. The result was in my case that the all but the last line of text printed, then the page was ejected and the last line was left in the printer buffer.

So perhaps the eject command is being sent to the printer before your last line of text despite the fact that it is the last line of your report. I called MS about this incorrect behaviour a couple of years ago but I do not know if it was fixed. The eject command use to work fine in Foxpro 2.6.
