Keith,

It sounds like you've got some reports which began life as DOS reports. The problem is that the converter assigns Opaque as the default mode. The problem appears sometimes and sometimes doesn't depending on the printer the report is being driven to. Here's the quickest solution I know of:

Open the report as a table using something like:

USE MYREPORT.FRX

Then issue the following command:

REPLACE ALL MODE WITH 1 FOR INLIST(objtype, 5, 8) AND platform = 'WINDOWS'

Then close the report.

The replace command will change the mode on a labels and fields to Transparent.

HTH,

George
