Thanks again to all who responded. I found a great way to get around it....I installed 8.0.....
I reinstalled VFP 7 with SP1 and it didn't fix it. I can go to another machine, bring up the same projects (it happens on all the projects I have...about 60 or so) and beautify works...
Thanks to everybody who has responded to this problem.
Unfortunately, nothing has worked. I've even gone so far as upgrading the BIOS as a last step. The machine has been reformatted and everything reinstalled and service pack'd. Maybe I'd better upgrade to 8.0
I get the error "API Call caused an exception" whe I try to run "BEAUTIFY" on any prg. I have uninstalled VFP (7.0 SP1) and reinstalled from scratch.
Does anyone have any ideas why this could be happening?
T!A,
Bill
Thanks also, Rick. I saw that and am looking forward to the day that 8 is reality.
BTW, the new backcolor property in a command button was requested at last year's DevCon by a programmer in our office...and they actually did it...

Thanks Mike....however....
It didn't work. Realized that the "On Entry" only accepts a logical expression.
So, I created a udf in my program and put your code there. Then in the on entry, I put SUPPPRINT() and that does work...
Thanks for the direction....

Does anyone know of a way of suppressing the Print Spooler Dialog output? (It's the dialog that comes up when you send a report to the printer that indicates the current page printing...)
I've tried directing output to a window defined off the screen, Set Console Off, etc with no success...
Also, check your setting of "SET EXCLUSIVE". If EXCLUSIVE is on, you won't be able to open the file. Make sure that the path to the data is included when the EXE is run.
Mike is correct....
To take it one step further....when you create your data grouping, make sure it is on something unique and cannot accidently be the same as in another record.
I've also seen people expand the detail band to cover a complete page, but that's not a really great way of doing...
To All....
I finally decided to write something in 7, since 8 is still beta and there's no guarantee that it will work the same when it's finally released.
To make everything respect the groups and reset page numbers on grouping, I resorted to printing to file. Since, most of the groups in...
If I do that (and I have tried) then the variable setup to store the last page of the report picks up the last page of the last group, and that is what I get on every page, regardless of what group it is printing....
I'm still trying to come up with a way of having it show "Page # of...
Thanks Slighthaze....
Your answer was basically the approach I was going to take... Can't wait for VFP8 to be released for real. The Beta is OK, but it's got lots of problems...
Thanks again....
Bill
I have a user that needs to have the page numbers in a report listed as 'Page 1 of x'. Before I go off and spend the time creating something (VFP8 has a _pagetotal system variable, but it doesn't work yet), has anyone done this already?
Thanks,
Bill
