>Greetings, and thanks for your concern! The problem has not been solved, but I think I understand what's happening, according to a message by Bret Empie. When FoxPro populates the report for data, if a point is reached where the remainder of the record will not fit on the page, a page break is sent to the printer, which is *exactly* what's happening with my report. It seems, so far, that there is *NO* way around this, which seems strange, due to the complexity and flexibility of FoxPro.

I've tolerated the report writer up to now because the users are happy to print everything on paper. But I believe in the ideal of the paper-less office. The report writer, which is good for nothing but printing on paper, doesn't deserve to be the standard vfp output medium. We need a flexible tool that will put data in a user-specified format to Word or Excel or some other file format in common use (maybe even acrobat). I don't know about any third party report writers, except for GenRepoX, which doesn't do this, last time I checked.
