Karen, I have three printers in my office. I set them each as the default and the symptom does not change.

I did have it backwards! It chopped off on the screen yet it printed okay for me too! I remember now because I was confused when RBTI told me it was a printer problem and I responded that it was to the screen; they told me that it uses the default printer to figure out how to display to the screen, which makes total sense. But why that same default printer went okay to the printer, don't know. My default printer was an HP laser P1006. At the client, which also had the problem, was defaulting to a huge HP multi-function network behemoth. Do you have another printer you can try printing to the screen? Even if you "add" a fake printer totally unlike the one you're using? Karen Karen, my problem is the opposite, it prints fine on the printer but drops 1 to 5 lines when displayed on the screen.

I noticed that unless there is a carriage return at the end of the RTF data, it did not print out. It printed fine to the screen, but left the last line out when going to the printer. So I put a big bold-faced note on my form telling the user to add a carriage return at the end. I had sent a demo to RBTI but they said it printed fine on their printer, said it was a printer problem not a data problem. Karen
