I'm still using DXBase 2005, which does everything I need, so maybe I'm off-base here but...
User defined lists and labels have the select (change) printer option available via the right click method. Built-in (standard) reports, even the "user-designed" one do not have the option. Lists have a .lst file extension, reports have a .rpt extension. Again I may be wrong, but I think that the only way to edit .rpt's to maybe fix this is by using Crystal reports. Joe should jump in here. Wes N7WS George Harlem W1EBI wrote: > Tried that first, Gary, but it did not change the printer selection for > printing a report.
