>>>but fails on all the Windows 98 machines... gives an error saying "detail band too long to fit on page". mmmmm if its too long on the windows 98 ones, then why isnt it too long on the windows 2000 machines? Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?
>>>Aaaaahhhhhh!

In Win98, your printer share name must not be longer than 8 characters and shouldn't have a space in it. Also, you *might* be able to try SET PRINTER TO NAME (lcTargetLabelPrinter) instead of using a macro. Share names are a still a problem in Win9X.
