Something strange happens when I put PCC in the header and footer with other printable controls in the details. Rbase seems to execute the PCC from both areas before printing. For instance, if I put a reverse page feed in the report or page header, the paper rolls down. If I then put a line feed PCC in the page footer or report footer the paper rolls down, then up and then the typing starts. That did not happend with Rbase version 6.5, so I don't think the printer driver is bad. It is as if Rbase 9.1 is reading the whole report, and executing the PCCs in the footer area right after the PCCs in the Header areas and then starts typing. Mike
