REPORT FORM PREVIEW

[johnod33]

Simple report
I open a dbf
USE DBF IN 0 SHARED ORDER emp_no
then I open a REPORT
REPORT FORM REPORT.frx PREVIEW
This report is opened in a FORM.
The form opens max screen using
ZOOM WINDOW SCREEN MAX in the INT procedure of the parent form.
The report opens full screen as I want it to for all users except one. It has to be some setting on that user’s computer.
The project is compiled to an EXE and deposited on our network and accessed via a short cut on the users desktop.
It was suggested that the FOXUSER.DBF was causing this to happen. I deleted all the records in that uses FOXUSER.DBF and the same thing happened.

Any suggestions?

delete the file, not only the records.

Bye, Olaf.

John,

Yes, the problem is probably something to do with Foxuser, but deleting the records from that file won't help.

The chances are that the user who is experiencing the problem cannot access the two Foxuser files for some reason - perhaps something to do with the network or access permissions. I'd check those first.

Also, try Olaf's suggestion of deleting the files (FOXUSER.DBF and FOXUSER.FPT).

If you are using a config.fpw file, make sure that this does not have RESOURCE=OFF in it.

Deleting the two files did nothing. When you run the exe the two file are recreated again of course with just the data from that last session.

Do you think it could have anything to do with the setting of the screen resoultion?

This user has it set 1280 x 1024

Have you tried adding one of the following lines:

KEYBOARD "{ctrl+f10}" && for Visual FoxPro
or
KEYBOARD "{ALT+Z}" && for FPW 2.x

before you do the REPORT FORM REPORT.frx PREVIEW?

Woo Hoo! Thanks BongoB1 that worked!

Thanks everyone else for your input also.
