Thanks, Buddy, I've created a new Windows printer as you detailed and changed the default printer on a report to the new one but it makes no difference for me
This report, and many others, only ever get printed to a file, that is their sole purpose in life. They never go to a screen or a printer or a fax or any type of file other than plain text. There's no formatting - just line after line of text. There must be something else that I haven't got right yet.
