>I am printing some reports from FPW 2.6, and they print fine from my machine. Other users on our network print the same reports, but when they do, any variable in the heading of the report prints out as black ink box. I have tried "send to back/send to front" in modify report, but it does not seem to work. I have also looked at other users' printer drivers, and they appear to be correct. I am using windows 3.1 loaded on my local machine, while the other users are using a network copy of Windows 95.

The "black box plague" most commonly occurs with reports that have been ported from FPD. There's a real easy fix:

1. Open the report as a table:
USE MYREPORT.FRX

2. Issue the following from the command window:
REPLACE ALL MODE WITH 1 FOR PLATFORM = "WINDOWS" AND INLIST(OBJTYPE, 5, 8)

3. Close the table

The above will set the mode for all labels and field to transparent.
