Hi Hamdy
If that's the situation ( i.e randomly disappearing ), then try to run the App from another workstation, for me it worked!

>Thanks for your reply. You are right we are using an international windows version (Arabic Enabled). I have tried your suggestion to modify the FRX file manually but the trick did'nt work. I observed that the same report would have some disapearing words randomely in the report header or report lines.

>>>We are facing a strange problem with VFP 6.0, some fields
>>>dissapear during printing (although they appear normaly in the print preview)which occures randomely i.e. the same report would print normaly sometimes.
>>>The same report was printing normaly under VFP 3.0b, but now it appears unstable. We have tried to change the FONTS and printer Drivers, then we re-created the whole report under VFP 6.0 but no results.

>>Hi Hamdy
>>I've experimented the same problem with 95/98 as well as NT. You are probably using some international version of Windows ( i'm using Hebrew Enabled versions of Windows ). For me the problem is even worst. Beside having some fields disapearing, i also have heavy distortions when previewing 'Right to Left' text in proportional fonts, but the printouts are ok.
>>So far, these are the workarounds i used:
>>- if the field always disapears when printing, open the report .FRX file manually ( use yourfile.frx ) and check the values for the FontFace (see if the FontFace really exists ),penred pengreen and penblue should be 0 and fillred,fillgreen and fillblue should be -1. For some reason, VFP does not always save the Foreground color of objects in the report.
>>- if some parts of the detail of your report does or does not print , in different parts every time you run the report, the only resort is to reinstall Windows and VFP in the machine ( i had a report with the same problem, that worked in 5 workstations in a network, and refused to work in a certain machine).

>>If you receive any help from M$ on this matter, i will greatly appreciate your input.
