OK Guys - That was it!
I performed a few more tests and a regular button works fine, the speed button always failed. This all makes sense to me now (of course).
Thanks for the tips,

Bob,
Where do you have the Property command to print the form? If it's in an eep attached to a button that doesn't receive tab focus then you're not really leaving the checkbox. I remember someone suggesting the use of a bit button or a regular push button instead of a speed button. I tried it here : I put two buttons on a form with the same command, one was a speed button and one was a push button. The push button command printed fine, while the speed button command did not print my last checked box.

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,
