So it starts spooling hundreds possibly thousands of jobs no idea why, tried reinstalling the winxp print drviers it does this for botht ehlabel and a4 printer, any ideas how to fix this no one has changed anything we don't have any paradox consultants?

IS there a simple setting we can get so it prints the current worksheet the users have entered into the GUI? after they click save and then go to print it goes crazy spooling hundreds of jobs the number just rises we have to force switch off the printers!
 
paradox does not print anything unless it is being told to do so by a script or form. If you have the source code (i.e. .SSL or .FSL) and a full instance of paradox 9 on your PC then you can use debug to step through. To find what form or script is launched when clicking on the shortcut look for the -f formname in the command line (can't recall if it has -s for a script or just -f) open the form or script in design mode and on the first line of code set a breakpoint with Ctrl-B then run it with F8 . Also just scrolling through the source code methods you may be able to spot code that prints out these worksheets. I'd happily help further if you could provide more information.
 
All sorted the database was full I think they managed to get the original developer to come out of retirement, I beleive they removed old database entries to clear up space.
