Printing issues with VFP5

[Ron143]

I have two issues that have me totally stumped. Both issues only seem to happen on win 98 machines. Windows 2000 works fine. This application has been upgraded from vfp 3 to vfp 5. Neither of these issues occurred in vfp 3.

Printing a report out of the application the first time the report prints really small (2 or 3 point font) If I press the print button again it prints fine. If I don't print for a few hours or if I reboot the machine it will print small one time and then print normally again. The printer drivers have been updated, and other application print fine. It happens on multiple machines and multiple printers. Any Ideas?

Second issue. IF I print a 3 page report from a win 2000 machine it works fine. If I print from a win 98 machine I get the first page, no page footer prints, and then it prints the 3rd page. If I view the report (everything looks fine) and then press the printer button from the report toolbar it prints perfect. If I try to print the report again without viewing it I only get 2 pages. Again, any ideas.

Thanks
Ron

I have seen this before, I think it had something to do with the fonts installed. check to see if the fonts called for in the report are installed on the system. Attitude is Everything

Ron,
Are you running with SP3? I believe a problem like this reportedly fixed in SP 1 or 2.

My version [ ?vers(1) ] reports - "Visual FoxPro 05.00.00.0415 for Windows [Oct 21 1997 13:31:18] Product ID 58263-999-9999999-99999"
