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.

OK, IC. Sorry, I am not familiar with that message. Which example were you following, and what did the title of the messagebox with the error say?

Is the message possibly "Report Preview has not been initialized correctly." rather than "configured"?

You shouldn't need to trace for this <s>. If the message is coming from Xbase code, you should be able to find the message you're seeing in one of the _LOC strings (check the *LOC.h files for the various components). (If I've guessed right about the actual error message, this would be RP_INVALID_INITIALIZATION_LOC.)

Once you find that _LOC string, you should be able to check the classes involved to tell you exactly where, or how, that message is invoked.

If, OTOH, the message really does use the word "configured", I think it is coming from VFP (the product, not the Xbase components), and tracing won't help <s>.

So, let's establish the error message exactly, and what example you're following... and then we'll check to see whether this is a bug in the preview or report output components.

Additionally, given what you're trying to do (use a consistent zoom level), perhaps you've added some code that is trying to do this in a way that could be improved, so you may want to show us the code you're using to accomplish this task. We'll try to give you some appropriate advice.
