Once I was able to preview the report in a zoomable way (with your help, thanks), I moved on to presenting it at the right zoom level right away. This is useful since I have are several reports designed in small fonts to make them printable in a standard sheet.

I was following the example on how to use REPORT FORM myForm OBJECT loListener and got a message that the preview object was not properly configured. By tracing I meant compiling the ReportPreview.app from the source code and steping until ran into the error.

I *will* read the manual and work some more on this later today. :)

Thanks,

Alex
