Joseph,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I've tried this in 800*600 and 640*480 and still the same. It's readable on 17inch monoitors but on 14inch its a problem. I first saw this when running Foxpro2.6 reports on NT - I spoke to Microsoft about it and they said it was probably a conflict between 2.6 & NT and the best option was to upgrade to VFP - did that - still the same.
If I create the simplest report and preview it via the View menu it occurs.
