Without using VFP8 I don't know of anyway to do this unless you use a third-party control like the AmyUni PDF Converter (www.amyuni.com). It can concatenate several VFP reports into one PDF document and send it to the printer as one print job I believe...

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.
