Thanks Bill/Karen,
Just a short note here
as to what RBase was like back in 1986!
I can't believe what we had to go
through to build a report with strings of escape codes to handle landscape,
condensed, legal, lines per inch and page, etal. But, remember the first
attempts of building reports with the first RBase for Windows versions? And
now, what a nightmare trying to do something/anything "the good old way". The
crises? All their wide carriage dot matrix printers finally
died.
Thanks RBTI for 7.x (and beyond).

Dennis,
I think the
problem had to do with the first page: If you didn't
"remove
initial CR/LF" for the top of the new report, it actually
started on line
2, and then counted to 60, which was one too many.
