Sherry, I'm assume that Legacy is using Windoz Print Preview for the report screen display. And I find no fault in that. In fact it is a plus in that Legacy doesn't need to add it to its own large code baggage.
I see I have Microsoft XPS Document Writer installed in Printers and Faxes. Nothing else. That seems to satisfy Legacy's printer requirement. I've tried to duplicate this no-screen problem, but with no results. I've rebooted Windoz, a warm boot. No luck. Maybe I need to shutdown completely. I'll try that later. Again I say you have a bug. When several of us, who have a printer driver installed, report no screen/printer in Reports and we can only get Reports working again after rebooting Legacy ===>> That is a BUG, not a feature.
