I charge a lot of $$ per hour--don't want to charge the client to much $$--distance is also an issue, as I wait for them to get email. Just want to have all my ducks in a row before I visit again. Thanks for the input! > >JR > >ELC >If you are still working on the problem check to see what ver. of 5.0 you have. 5.0a is out and has lot of bug fixes relate to printing for compiled programs ie some of my user get thumb nail size reports on lazer and inkjet printers.
