Some ideas (assuming you're using the VFP report designer):
Check the column width under Page Setup and be sure it's what it should be.
Check that all the controls in the footer are horizontally aligned with one another, sometimes if one is off a little bit it can cause a line break where you don't want one.
Check if the rightmost field in the footer could extend past the right margin. When designing for ASCII it's best to use Courier New 12-point font in the report designer, otherwise it may look like you have room for things when you really don't. Results are probably unpredictable if stuff gets pushed too far to the right when the report is rendered at run time.
If nothing else works, consider not using the VFP report designer for ASCII reports and instead write the report from code, line by line, directly to an ASCII text file and then copy that file to the printer. You give up the power of the VFP report designer, but you gain more control over the output. For a lot of reports, this isn't as much work as it sounds like.
>I'm trying to use the generic text driver to print to dot matrix printers. I have a report created with a paper size of 17X11 to allow for the use of condensed print. Everything is working great, but the footer. Anything to the right of about 11 inches ends up printing all the way to the left side of the page. I have plenty of items in the header and detail that are located even further to the right without any problems. Any ideas here? > >TIA, >Marcus.
