Hamdy,

There are others having problems printing Arabic Reports, exactly as you describe: fields randomly disappear. Someone (forget who) sent me a report which printed perfectly for me under English Windows98.

Don't fall for the VisualBasic argument. Some MS people think VB cures everything. My guess is that it's something between Arabic Windows, the printer drivers, and VFP6.

You may get more attention posting with a title like "Arabic Windows Printing." Are there any MS Newsgroups for Arabic Windows?

Good luck.



>I have a strange problem with printing reports in VFP 6.0 + SP 3.0
>some parts of the report are not printed in a random fashion, i.e. the it prints sometimes and new parts disapear. The report is printed correctly in the preview mode, but when direceted to the printer some parts of the report disappear.
>When we use VFP 3.0b the same report is printed correctly.
>It seems that there is a bug with the localized windows version we are using (Arabic), we suspect the windows printer spool program, as we tried to change the printer drivers and the printers but did not reach any result.

>We have tried to obtain help from Microsoft local office but no reply, we were told that we are the only software company in Egypt the uses VFP ! and even suggested to move our application to Visual Basi. Can anyone please try to help, we have a real problem here.
