>>>I have a FPW 2.6 application that changes all the labels on a report to black rectangles when you print any of the reports in the compiled exe. That is the problem, however, the strange thing is that when the project is compiled as an APP, instead of, an EXE it prints the labels correctly. Does anyone know what's going on here?

If FPW converted the report from FPD, there's a pretty good chance that's what did it. FWIW, when I originally encountered this problem, the reports both previewed and printed fine on some printers, on others they didn't. I came to refer to this as "The Plague of the Black Boxes"< g >.
