Thanks Cathy. I've been reluctant to apply SP 2 because of the stuff it munges. I dimly recall reading that people have to pick up various pieces of hot-fixed stuff from various locations in order to fix the broken things. ReportListener source code and the help files come to mind. And haven't I also heard that even the most recent "fixed" help file still isn't as good as the one in SP 1? Is there a definitive comprehensive article posted somewhere on what to do to recover from SP 2? Actually, after posting my question I read your articles on the new reporting stuff, and spent some time trying to integrate the default ReportListener app into my program. With not much work I was able to get that going for single reports--even figured out how to turn off the Print button in the toolbar (I use a separate .exe for printing--and I realize with more time I could get the Print button to call it, but was trying to get something done fast). This works well; I no longer have to turn off the menu to avoid crashes, and the preview window maximizes properly. For multiple reports I need the default preview toolbar to let users zoom. However, I have my own tricky little "toolbar" to let users respond to the preview; it has buttons to go to the next report, cancel previewing, cancel printing. It's not a real toolbar, it's a modeless always-on-top form that I open before the preview window appears to make sure it's available. With the ReportListener app though, in this setting with my little form, for some reason the preview toolbar doesn't appear. The first report comes up fine but when the user tries to go to the next report, the ReportListener throws an error that it's looking for the toolbar and can't find it. Then the whole thing crashes. So for right now my code sets REPORTBEHAVIOR to 80 (with my menu-killing dodge) for multiple reports and to 90 for single reports. My question is, why would the preview toolbar not appear just because there's another form present? Thanks again.
