Nick, thanx for your help.

this is the syntax:

select invoice_detail
report form invoice for invoice_detail.invoice_no = invoice_header.invoice_no preview
(I do not use a report data session, all files are already open)

It work O.K. onthe preview but when I print it it print all of the detail lines from the detail DBF.

>>I have an invoice report with header and detail
>>
>>If I print invoice #1000 to preview, everything works well, I can see the header of the invoice and only the detail lines pertaining to that invoice. (1000)
>>
>>But as soon as I send it to print (via the icon bar) all hell breaks loose! VFP5.0 prints the invoice header and the WHOLE RECORDS IN THE DETAIL DBF.
