Hi Menachem,

VFP8 supports NOPAGEEJECT clause in the REPORT FORM command which allows sent multiple report as one print job. As alternative, you can output report to a file and than spool them as one print job using Direct writing to spooler without GDI response File #9957 or something similar.

We are encountering a problem on network printers because each FRX is sent to the printer as its own print job (e.g., other print jobs gets mixed in between).

I was thinking that there might be an API call that would do what I want (although I am not sure what it is). I have the option of outputting to another medium, perhaps, (like RTF) and printing that but that could alter the formatting somewhat.
