Not sure if you saw THREAD#693377

Problem:

With VFP 5 my new laser printer generated "Illegal operation" which crashed the system and this is how I fixed the problem following the suggestions from UT:

1. Cleaned Tag, Tag2 fields of all reports (first line in .frx)
2. Cleaned EXPR field - left only ORIENTATION (first line in .frx)

That didn't fix the problem so I went further:

3.In the main program:
DECLARE _fpreset IN MSVCRT20

4.After each REPORT FORM... I issued a =_fpreset() statement
REPORT FORM...
=_fpreset()

NOW it no longer crushing the system. So I offer this as a solution for this kind of problem.

BUT this generated another problem:
If I print the same report twice in this sequence
REPORT FORM *
=_fpreset()
REPORT FORM *
=_fpreset()

...it sometimes prints one copy in Landscape format even if the report is Portrait...100% puzzled...

Do you've SP3 installed?

Response

No. I don't.
Where can I find the last SP for VFP 5 ?
