Charles -
There is only 1 field in 1 table. I called the table myTest.dbf, the field is cName - character. There is only 5 records.



>I was just wondering Do you use Report Variables? I have have seen that VFP doesn't release it's report variables after a Preview.

>>I've duplicated this on 3 machines. I have a HP Deskjet 670c. I created a small .exe having 1 table and 1 report using the HP Deskjet as default printer.
>>
>>I turn on the Windows95 Resource meter found by clicking 'Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Resource Meter'
>>(If you don't have this file you can install it. It is in the 'Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs - Windows Setup - Accessories'
>>
>>Next I run the VFP5 .exe File I created. (You can do this in development or LIVE!)
>>Take a look at your resource meter taking particular note of 'SYSTEM and GDI' percentages.
>>
>>Next I PREVIEW the Report.
>>Close the Report
>>Review Resources
>>PREVIEW the Report
>>Close the Report
>>Review Resources
>>
>>My resources continually go down without releasing themselves. This will continue till it locks up the machine.
>>
>>Next I repeated the test to a Panasonic Printer as my default.
>>Recreated the .exe and tried again.
>>No problem, the resources release themselves as necessary.
>>
>>I tried this with a HP4si Printer. No Problem.
>>I installed the HP 560c Printer using the Windows 95 supplied by Microsoft. No problem.
>>
>>Went back to HP670c - Lost resources until it locked me out.
>>
>>Any suggestions?
