SAFETY was already set in the parent form, but didn;t work. I finally got it to work
(eliminated the confirm message) by setting safety off again at init of the form that calls
the report. But why it didn't work when I already set it in the parent form still bothers me.

I changed it to exactly you suggested, thank you.

Wouldn't this lose the purpose of getting the last page number ? My intention was
to get the last page number and stuff it in a spinner for user to select whether to
print the whole or certain pages of the doc. Regarding dynamic change in info during
time lag from generating last page to user confirm input, I'd suppose there still isn't
a perfect way to handle this in the multiuser environment, though I think most of the
methods used today are sufficient to server the purpose.
