>Hi again Nadya, since I see this issue in this thread too, I'll post it here. Another issue that I should've mentioned in my other thread is that as you know, GDI printers will not accept printer control codes, so while using ??? may work with your current printers, there is always the possibility that someone will get a host-based GDI printer in the future and the reports will no longer print at all. You will only receive error lights on the printer itself or the reports goes to la la land. I have run into this this year as some of our customers started purchasing systems that included low-end GDI printers so all of our reports are slowly migrating to VFP frx reports...

Thanks again, Tracy. Ed Rauh has a FAQ here on GDI printers. Thanks for the word of caution.

To be completely honest, I started all these inquiries because I saw a post in another forum with this problem, which seems to be quite interesting. The person, who asked that question, never responded, so I don't know, if this information was helpful to him or not. But it certainly was helpful for me and hopefully for few lurkers as well.

Thanks again.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
