Doug,
Is the DBcheckbox a variable by nature? That may seem to make sense if that was the case. On other tests, I left the cursor in a dbedit field and it printed fine. I will test again by leaving it in a variable and then doing a print
What "getproperty" are you talking about?
Thanks for the advice,
Bob C.

Bob, I just ran into a similar situation and Larry Lustig pointed me in the right direction.
Could it be that your "Print" button is a focus-less control and (quoting from Larry) " focus never leaves your variable edit field (the DB checkbox in your case), and the variable itself never gets updated."
This seems reasonable, esp since the non-printing box is the last one - focus never leaves it and it doesn't get updated for the printing.
I added a GETPROPERTY to read my variable
Just a long shot.

I am answering my own email - I did find an unusual behavior in this print routine after additional testing. If you have check boxes, and they are the last thing entered on the form, the LAST one you check will be a blank box. Fields work fine - you see the cursor dissappear while printing, but everything prints. Just some oddity with this property, I guess.....

This is WAY too cool.
Nice little routine. I did find one little glitch. I tested this on a form with some DB checkboxes checked. The whole form matched a screen print, with the exception of ONE checkbox check not printing, it just printed the box. I'll have to play with this to see what was different about that checkbox, I think it was the last thing I did on the form.
In any event, what a great useful feature.

Bob,
Ask and you shall receive!
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM PRINT 'PRINTER'
RETURN
Use that command as an embedded EEP for a button on the form.

Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
