Thanks, Sergey. I had a go at adapting the CopyTo() function from Ed Rauh's ClsHeap class but that function seems to rely on his method of heap allocation/tracking which is not trivial to adapt to your code.

I ended up making a VFP7 executable, which worked fine for the test. However, it didn't solve the problem. If I specified a form exactly 7.0000 inches long, the Oki 520 printer advances slightly more than 7 inches for each form. If I specify anything less - even 6.9999 inches, the printer advances slightly less than 7 inches per form. In each case the data printed on the pre-printed forms gets significantly misaligned after only 7 or 8 forms.

I tried literally everything to fix this. The printer supports 3 emulations - IBM ProPrinter III, Epson FX-80, and native Oki ML. I downloaded and installed drivers for each emulation and set the printer emulation appropriately. I tried all available graphics resolutions for each driver. Nothing worked.

Interestingly, the user running these reports had a W95 box last year, which worked fine. It's her "new" W2K box with the problems. As it happens, the company still has an old W95c box working as a print server. I set up the user's ML 520 to be shared on the network, installed the IBM-emulation W95 driver on the old box and tested. Worked perfectly the first time.

So, the problem is "worked around" for this year, but not solved.
