Robert,

The way to approach this is to rethink your interface, have the user specifiy where they want the rpoert to go BEFORE you execute the REPORT FORM command. For example, wrap the report with a form, in that for let the suer selecte the criteria etc for the report and choose whether the report should be previewed or printed or sent to a file. In the suer chooses preview then REPORT FORM ... PREVIEW NOCONSOLE. Wen the user finishes with the preview let them close the window an return to the form. They can then change their selection to Print and click the OK button again, this time, because they set the print option in teh fomr you issue REPORT FORM ... TO PRINT NOCONSOLE.
