>Otherwise, you may have an issue with the printable area being different between the default printer and the one chosen by the user. That could potentially mean that the "TO FILE" report would have a slightly different page count than the "TO PRINT" report because the number of lines that can fit on the page may be slightly different.

Cathy,
In regards to the page count being reliable, do you know whether it works to:
SET PRINTER TO NAME (printerName)
instead of:
=SYS(1037)
Thanks,
