Just another reason to love and support this site/forum. I spend alot of time just reading others problems and presented solutions. It has saved me alot of headaches. Thanks to all.

Thanks. I did similar but didn't get it. Thanks again.

What I would like to do is use a loop to change the value of many instances of the same controls. The control is a combo box class used many times on the same form. I would like to take the following: oForm = ThisForm.Pageframe1.Page2 oForm.cboAbcspecs1.Enabled = .T...

Very nice everyone. Looks like the grid focus is the issue. I took the report off of the main app menu option and made it a command button option instead and it printed with no problems. The only question I'm left with now is if I'm calling the report from the app menu why isn't this enough to...

jimstarr - Negative. Only function on report uses a variable reference. OlafDoschke - Yes there is a grid on the form and it has focus when the report is called. The report is called from a menu choice so maybe I'll try using a command button and see what happens.

I say "sometimes" because it is inconsistent. I will print the report and get an error, ignore it, and print it again and it process properly without an error. I have checked the report thoroughly and there is no reference to the table that causes the error.

I have a simple app. One form(1) that calls another form(2) and then has the ability to print a report. Each form uses a single table. Form1 works with a parent table1, which allows you to find an account. Form2 then pulls the account details from a second table2 based on a relation as follows...

Thanks to all and especially to MikeLewis for providing a workable suggestion. Unfortunately, I was hoping to take advantage of vfp's built in print when feature somehow, since I want to do this on multiple fields. Another solution I had considered would be to use logical fields an d make them...

My apologies to all, it's been a rough week and I "assumed" it was straight forward, and clearly, it was not. As ImagineCorp stated, yes I would like to mimic "repeat values = .f." Wow I made that complicated.

DWGrewe, I'm trying to get the "print when"->"repeated values=.f." option to work in a grid (if it's possible without a bunch of code on my part). Perhaps I wasn't clear on that above but the example above demonstrates what I want to do in a grid. Vfp8 and 9 both provide "print when"->...

I use a report to review information that I send out. However, once in a while I have to edit that info which means cancelling the report, editting and re-running the process. I'd like to be able to use the print when option a report provides on a grid in a form so I can use a grid to do the...

Sorry, using fox for DOS terminology. It's actually the "print repeated values" option on a text box. If you double click on a text box, click "print when" the first option is "print repeated values" which works the same as the suppress option in fox for DOS. Still do alot of programming in fox...

Looking to use the suppress feature available in reports in a form grid. Search option still seems to be down so haven't tried that. Any help GREATLY appreciated.

Looking to generate some large print jobs from vfp, although our main active app is written in FPD and so are the reports that I need to print. I have been working on re-writing the reports in vfp but (obviously) I can't create an exact match of the dos generated reports. I need to use the dos...

Well, finally got it to work so I figure I will post it here in case anyone else is trying to accomplish the same. Though I have solved the problem, I think there is an issue with the NOPAGEEJECT clause (or something I'm completely missing) since despite the fact that you should be able to...
