>>Please save my sanity. There must be a way to control the properties of the preview window like you would a form, right? I like to prevent users from minimizing the preview screen, because as far as I can tell there is no way to bring it back. I would also like to change the dialog caption at the top of the report. Having 'patstat.frx' listed at the top of the preview does my users no good, and in fact can tend to confuse them. I would rather have the proper title of the report appear in this area. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Heh heh...actually, there is :)

Before issuing your REPORT FORM command, issue a DEFINE WINDOW statement and give the window the attributes you want. You can also treat this defined window as an Form object by referencing it by name. Then say:

REPORT FORM MyReport PREVIEW WINDOW MyWindow

where MyWindow is your defined window.

Yes, this works - I'm doing it in a chunk of code right now. :)
