>I am coding in VFP 6.0 on a Windows 98 machine. I have created a report for a wide carriage printer that looks fine when I preview it on the 98 machine. But when it is compiled into a .EXE and deployed to the network machines, which are NT and XP, it only shows a normal 8 1/2 inch page width to the screen. Also along this same thought. When this report is sent to the wide carriage printer it prints in letter quality even though I have set everything I can find to draft mode. How do I get the page preview to display in full width on screen for NT/XP and get the printer to print in draft mode.

To print in draft mode, you will have to generate a text file, and then send it to the printer with the "???" command. You can prepend printer codes, in this case.
