i'm using foxprow 2.6 and have some problems, using the report picture from a general field, the field contains a picture from corel draw, when i'm use te preview option all is ok, but when send the report to printer, foxpro say:

an error has ocurred in your programa, cancel, ignored

push cancel and send an error in the driver of the printer and close foxpro.

the only printer where i'm can print is the hp 5si

help me please
 
Could be that FoxPro /Windows OLE / printer driver can't cope with the memory needed to print the report and call up CorelDraw to print the picture all at one go.
You could test this guess by seeing if it works okay with smaller picture.

Ideas to solve it
Export the CorelDraw pictures to some other format. Try a couple of different ones
Keep a bitmap copy of the CorelDraw pictures in your table for report printing? A bit of a second rate solution I guess but if it works...
Plug more memory in the machine, if it has less than 32mb for Windows 3 or less than 64mb for Windows 9x
Fiddle with the memlimit setting in the config.fpw file

Sorry not to have a more definite solution
