Ok, Ka-Bang and that is done. ;) NO ERROR's NONE!
I also had pending print jobs and allowed up to 600+ accumulate just to see what would happen if I went out for coffee. I have also the 'Print Configuration Report' to show the actual 'Page Count' and I used the latest version of 7.6 ran without ANY problems! Page count since last maintenance 17,735 and it started out at 15,889 = 1846 Congratulations Karen, your report LOOKS GREAT!! 1820 times over. Sincerely, Paul Dewey Also a couple extra pages in there to check the progress, (1846 vs 1820)I got to a point and was wondering if the loop was going to end and wouldn't you know it. It had like 80 or so pages and it finished. ;) Like I needed to double check Karen's code, But honestly I just ran it and never did check it. I will PDF the Print Conf. Copies for proof of the print job, just because I have the report and send them to Karen in the morning.

Changed my report to have a break on the CustID with a page feed. I then printed an 1820-page PDF file. I did it in both 7.5 and 7.6. Compression ON: 4.1 MB (same 7.5 and 7.6) Compression OFF: 19.4 MB (7.5) and 18.5 MB (7.6) All the files look okay. Took 2.5 minutes to run, all versions, all compressions. I was surprised that when I did not specify any compression options, it ran with compression on. I would have thought that OFF was the default; not sure then why you would set it to OFF. The only glitch I had was in 7.6. I tested the 7.5 report first. Then in 7.6 I brought up the 7.5 report, made a simple change so I could save another version in 7.6 and run that one. Ran it to the PDF once, ran just fine. Changed my compression parameter in the Print statement and ran it again and I got some error about my report definition, even though I hadn't gone back into the report (wish I had kept the error message...). I couldn't bring the report up again in the designer; unloaded and upload the database, reboot, still can't get into the designer. Brought up the 7.5 version again, made another 7.6 version of the report and ran it 4 times without a problem. Paul might test for me printing 1820 pages of individual reports. He has a network laser with an intermittent streaking problem that he needs to test -- so he offered his services! Karen
