Bill,
Thanks for the heads-up on these system variables, I had forgotten all about them. I just tested this though and if the initial print command sends the report to the screen and the user prints from the menu, RBTI_RSTAT_DEV is set to Screen. Wanted you & Doug to know.

If user just looks at it and closes, without printing, no update. An UPDATE command in both After Generate and AfterPreview EEPs runs after the report is displayed, regardless of whether it is printed or not, so (I don't think) those EEPs aren't going to work. I could put the UPDATE after the PRINT command, but that runs whether they print or just view. I could add a dialog could ask the question, but I'd like the update to be transparent to the user. Ideas? Is there an R:Base system variable that indicates print status?
