When you say you can't afford Crystal right now what do you mean? Crystal Enterprise? Or do you mean the CR Report Writer tool?

Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Reporting/Printing Question We currently have a form that allows you to print screen by pressing a button on the form. It works most of the time without problems, but sometimes it prints blank pages and you have to go back and try again. >From what I've read the WUT is a little flakey when it comes to printing. I would like to come up with a more reliable method of doing this. I thought I would try to have it create a report and print the report on the button press, but the output is pretty ugly and hard to read. From what I can tell I have very little or no control of how it's displayed (fonts, spacing etc..) using the canned reporting tool. I know a lot of people use Crystal and I assume it affords lots of options, but unfortunately the money is not there right now to purchase it. Anyone have any ideas?
