Ron, Yes, Ron, I've found a easy work-around that temporarily fixes this bug. I simply reboot Legacy and the bug goes away. Since this PC is now on 24/7, the bug hasn't returned. I don't expect Legacy to fix this bug in v. 5. And I understand Legacy's need to use Windoz printer driver to display Reports on screen. That is fine with me. My work-around works satisfactorily for me. Problem solved.
