Hi John

Thanks for the feedback. I think that being unable to use the REPORT FORM command, due to the unnecessary presentation of the 'Printing Page...' dialog, is just dumb. In process COM servers are already set to run with no UI - so why not just suppress the dialog for a COM server? How crazy is it to have to use the Crystal Reports OCX control just to print a simple report with no UI.

Thanks
Bill
