Artifacts on screen when Report Form is called 1

[Scott24x7]

Hi all,
I've discovered one other annoyance with the new report writer. When I make a call with REPORT FORM <report.frx> PREVIEW or TO PRINTER, I get a series of artifacts on the screen:
.T.
.NULL.
LISTENER.VCX
LISTENER.VCX
LISTENER.VCX
End of locate scope.
.F.
.T.
.T.
.T.

With forms, and data environment a similar issue happens, but it is suppressed by adding:
SET TALK OFF in the Before Open Tables event.
I tried adding SET TALK OFF just before the call to REPORT FORM (though globally I have it set off by default), but that didn't make any difference. What do I need to do to suppress this from appearing in the active form on screen when a report is called?
Many thanks!

SET CONS OFF
I experienced it, Whenever error occurs in(Listener) it get reset(also in Try catch).

Seems like you haven't updated, whats your Version()? Should be Visual FoxPro 09.00.0000.7423 for Windows
Also, see

http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~SolutionsToVFP9SP2Bugs

Cathy Pountney reported a bug fix in the report listener classes of FFC:

http://cathypountney.blogspot.com/2009/04/set-talk-appears-to-be-on-when-running.html

That should not be necessary by now with SP2 and Hotfixes, but see if SP2 actually changed the FFC classes, because of what's said in the fox.wikis about how to ensure SP2 update also updates ffc files - which include the _reportlistener.vcx class library.

What you should do is follow her instructions to see whether you have a fixed fxlistener or _reportlistener.vcx and the mentioned method calls are done in correct order.

Bye, Olaf.

Thanks NEE4NEE, that cleared it up!
I'll make a setting to keep it that way globally.
Cheers.

Fine, but I also see people telling CONSOLE OFF and TALK OFF doesn't work, so these settings are not a wholesome solution, you should still check whether your FFC folder really reflects the changes as vfp9.exe may be the correct hotfix build but things in the installation folder could be wrong for the reasons described in the wiki.

Bye, Olaf.
