>Greg,
>She can print from WORD and from the Internet with no problem so she has come to the conclusion that something is wrong with my program and I find that hard to argue with unless there is some kind of a know conflict between VFP and this printer.

Did/does this program print/preview correctly on another computer with a different printer installed, ie: your development machine? Is the Brother a new printer and did it print/preview correctly before?

I have run into the same exact thing but only with HP Deskjet printers.....Here's what I do in order of trying....

1. Do I have the latest drivers from the manufacturer?
2. Use the Driver that came with Windows for that printer (generic)
3. Delete foxuser file
4. Clear report .frx fields tag, tag2, and expr

One of these, alone, or in combination have always got me going. In each case Word, Excel, etc... were not having problems. When XP came out I had these all over the place as people upgraded their OS....One of the above always fixed the problem.....Hope this helps. I know how frustrating it can be......I have never seen or heard a reasonable explanation of why it is happening or how it is related to VFP....I just know others have encountered the problem in various forms and configurations for several years now...
