>>>>Rob, in addition to the solutions the others have suggested, check the list of VFP reserved words and try NOT to use these in tables. Recently people have written about problems with fields named DESC, NUMBER and now DATE and TIME. All of these words are used internally by VFP, so it has trouble figuring out which meaning is the right one.

Rob, you should only be using the ??? triple for printer commands - your 1st to lines. Then use ?? for the data as below:

??? chr(27)+'(10U'+chr(27)+'(s0p16.66h8.5v0s0b0T'
??? chr(27)+'*p0x0Y'
?? mytable.name
?? mytable.address

??? is for Printer commands only. ?? says 'print this data at the present printer position'. ? says 'print this on the next line'
