>>>Anybody have a solution to a problem I'm having to Visual Foxpro 5.0 reports printing in tiny print (probably about 3 pt font). Displays as full size (actual pitch size) in Report Designer and Print Preview but shows on the upper left hand corner in about 2 /12" of space. Recently upgraded to 5.0 after a year in 3.0. Any suggestions??

Barbara,
I just received 5.0a and like you said, the problem still exists! The problem does not seem to exist on my development system's printer (HP deskjet 680C). However, I'm writing a program for others to use on a shared novell network environment in which everyone has a different printer albeit they're all HP type... Quite disappointed that a major problem like that has no obvious solution. You would figure that FP5.0 would just take the PC printer settings for the report. However, this does not seem to be the case. At least have some more configuration options in the Report Writer to manipulate such printer settings... Removing the "PROMPT" is not really desirable since it would give the user less control on which printer they could print to (only the default printer would be used) or change the printer's settings. Anybody have another solution out there???

Thanks,
Mark Pelea
