Thanks James I missed this because I assumed this was an option for ALL outputs of PRINT, not just PRINTER. Too bad we don't have it for PDF, etc as well!

I know you can print to the screen and thenfrom there indicate a range of pages. But isn't there a new featurethat allows you to specify this in the PRINT command itself, so you could print to a PDF file or printer but only for a range of the report? I'm not seeing it in HELP PRINT or Razzak's FTE paper "All about the print command" David "David Blocker [email protected] Office: 781-344-1920 Cell: 339-206-0261"
