While in Report Designer, are you able to [Preview] the report? Are you able to PRINT the same report with OPTION SCREEN? Are you able to PRINT the same report with OPTION PRINTER? What is the exact syntax you are using, including the OPTION for "|FILENAME"? Answering these simple questions may also provide you with some blue's clues ... Very Best R:egards, Razzak. P.S. I also recommend to use the updated builds of R:BASE eXtreme. http://www.rupdates.com
