Different printers have different non-printable margins. It sounds like what you are running into is this difference. You have to make sure that you design your reports with enough margin space to work on all the different printers connected to your system.

Previewing a report honors whatever default printer is set up for that machine so it makes sense that it looks different on different machines and it makes sense that the printed output looks like the preview.

It sounds like you have to modify the report to work within the printable area of whichever printer is the smaller one.

>Thanx for the response Cathy,
>Yes, EXPR, TAG, and TAG2 fields have the printer stuff stripped. However, doing a print preview on a machine with an EPSON driver installed looks different than a print preview on a machine with , say, an HP Laserjet driver installed. Selecting the printer with PROMPT seems to have no effect. And it prints just the way PRVIEW shows it. Usually cutting off at the top or the right margins. Even modifying the report to use a smaller width shows differently on the different machines. Any thoughts?

>>Do you mean that you prompt for a printer and regardless of what printer you choose it ALWAYS goes to the default printer .. or do you mean that it goes to the right printer, but looks funky .. or do you mean that you don't even get prompted for the printer and you'd like to?

>>Are you stripping some info out of the EXPR field of the first record, as well as the TAG and TAG2 fields? The first few lines in the EXPR field have to do with specific printers and can cause headaches.
