FoxyPreviewer Printing "..." For Hard Returns in Memo Field

[Auguy]

VFP 9 SP2. I am using FoxyPreviewer and it is working great execept for displaying memo fields. Any carriage return in the memo field is printed as "..." and the rest of the memo is not printed. I found some info on the web saying this is a Report Behavior 9 issue. Seems like this would be a pretty basic requirement. Is there any way to get the full memo to print?

Have you set the report field to Stretch?

Yes. Oops, just found the problem. This is embarrassing. I always shrink the height of the memo fields in my reports to save space and make the memo fields look better (in my opinion) by editing the FRX thru a browse and changing the height directly. Once I set the height back to the default height it works fine, Sorry for the trouble.

Just to add: The ... (ellipsis) is default behavior in the trim mode in VFP 9 report behavior. In previous versions the text was just cut off, now there are several shortening options. So if you see a ... in a report not coming from the data, it's a sure sign this is in effect.

See

and look out for trim mode there.

Bye, Olaf.

Hi,

notice you have solved your problem, if still not yet completely to your satisfaction, please make use of the lExpandField property in FoxyPreviewer.
