>I have a UDF to print an Order sheet. When the user chooses to print the UDF is done twice to print two copies. Sometimes a couple of users have problems. The first copy prints fine but the second one stops near the end, always at the last item of the order. If the paper is removed from the printer, when the printer is used next the rest of the order sheet information that was not printed the previous time prints before the new print job. I tried switching printers but that doesn't solve the problem. It seems like some kind of memory problem though because sometimes the print job is printed quite sporadically - a few lines will print, then a pause, then a few more lines will print, maybe another pause and then some more lines print. The application is written in Foxpro/Lan 2.0 and used in a multi user environment. Any suggestions? Thanks.

open the report just like a table -- use myreport.frx
in the first record delete everything from the EXPR, TAG and TAG2 fields. In the EXPR field, have only 1 line -- COPIES=2

Ooops, I see you did not specify that you were using a report file. If this is a Novell network, try extending the print capture timeout. If there is a long enough delay between the lines that are to be printed within the same print job, the capture may be seeing this as separate print jobs. You could also use PCONSOLE utility to monitor what is exactly going on.
