Hello Tracy, Thanks for your idea, I tried it, but did not have any luck.
The program can not find the form in the current folder. I have it working by making a copy of the print_preview form in the customreports folder. Not exactly what I wanted, but it is working.

(or for testing, add it just before the call) Tracy Pearson PowerChurch Software [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/F2635505F1FE473CBA831E2EA756168B@LaptopW7 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
