We had it as a separate report, but we had no idea if the user clicked the print button from a preview and couldn't force a disclaimer out with it. I thought I had the solution by using the summary band to just print the disclaimer evertime. This is good in theory.....

>Second problem: When I run the report it say's that the summary band is larger than a page. LIAR!! Actually I think VFP added the size of the page header to the size of the summary band even though the page header on the last page doesn't spit anything out because of all my Print Whens. Now what????

>help......
