My system does alot REPORT FORM ... TO FILE with subsequent copying. You should remember few things here:
1. PC should be connected to printer (with appropriate print driver installed) even you issue REPORT TO FILE.
2. This printer and printer you will use to copy to must be compatible.
3. Clean up report form frx table fields.
4. Simple command RUN COPY ... TO LPT1: will work Ok for Windows95 but requires modifications for WindowsNT.
