Albert,

As shown in my messages, the name of variable in _VFP.SetVar has to be enclosed in quotes. Also it's redundant to compare logical values to .T. or .F. because thay are logical already.

gedruckt = .F.
REPORT FORM liste_artikelstamm TO PRINTER PROMPT preview
MESSAGEBOX("Printstatus= " + TRANSFORM(gedruckt))
if gedruckt
	........
endif


* report summary band on Exit:
_VFP.SetVar("gedruckt", sys(2040) = "2")
