>>Since this has been a constant problem for us also we have been looking for ways to handle it. The issue may arise because whereas Word and Excel contain "inherent" internal parameters relating to the net effect of "page setup" and related "page contents" - ie: no facility for creating discrete, specific data content "Report Forms" per se - that therefore page breaks are predictable therein, however VFP has relatively so many "user dependent" external parameters adjustable through the "report form" process including variables changeable at print time - eg: possible "scope" adjustments, etc. - that "reliable" page break prediction becomes relatively impossible ahead of actually printing and thus even "preview" does not necessarily translate into page breaks correctly.
>>So the only apparent option for selectively printing specific pages at "Print Time" is to "know" the record range for the pages you want printed - often no small challenge at best (g) - and thus specify the "scope" to be printed using that option from the "print" prompt menu. What we have been meaning to try therefore is first printing the report to a disk file and then selecting the pages to print from that file. What do you think, Dave? /psb.

>i think if that were an issue, i'd use a report tool that gave me that capability. i have several clients who use Crystal Reports for their reporting needs. CR gives the user the ability to print ranges of pages and allows them to design their own reports (makes my job easier)

Agreed. :) /psb.
