I love this kind of question. It doesn't include any code. The error message (if that's what it is) is vague. We're given no clear idea of what the problem is or how it arose. Just a vague notion that it's something to do with reports. There's nothing like a challenge to encourage replies.

OK, I'll take a stab at it. You're using @/SAY commands. The co-ordinates are outside the valid range for the screen size or physical page size. You get an error message.

Am I on the right track?

i have this problem when row >2855 or something like that in a tex file
solution don't use @ say create a table and use the command copy to filename.txt sdf and you wil have an ascii text file...

Hi,

What are the coordinate?
They must be in between -32768 and 32767.

Aescobedo3,

You say you don't use the @ command, but you are getting invalid co-ordinates?

It would be VERY helpful if you could show us the code that triggers the error.

I'm confused. We've one problem from rommeltm00 and another from Aescobedo3 and I don't even know whether I'm in FoxBase or Fox9.

here is the idea i understand from rommeltm00
you need create a txt file so you use a simimilar code

set device to printer
set printer to file.txt
use mytable in 0
go top
nrow=0
do while !eof()
*here is the error when nrow match a valor of 2185 i don't now why i hope somebody know
@nrow,0 say 'line in txt file'
nrow=nrow+1
skip
enddo

so don't use @say command
use copy to file.txt sdf
where the table must have the info you need in txt file

i hope you get the idea

Aescobedo3,

I don't understand what you are asking. Are you saying you have the same problem as Rommeltm00? Or are you suggesting a solution?
