Hi guys,

I recently switched to w2k because my w98se just blew up. I have been developing applications using visual foxpro 6 for my clients. When I tried to set up the printer for my application, I found I cannot define the paper size as I could in the past when using w98se so I set the paper size to US fanfold (I am printing with fanfold and I want a nice page jump because a wrong page length will have the first line of each page all over the place instead of the fix place everytime, I think you know what I am talking about).

OK, setting this page length gets me a nice page jump (vertically OK) but the page strink horizontally. Not in proportional but in a very stange way :

@prow()+1 ,0 say repl('-',20)
@prow(),20 say '*****'

will print likc :
----------------------------- *

I set up a w98se enviornment and run the same program. The line will print continuously. Could this be a problem in the W2K or a mismatch between VFP 6.0 and W2K. If my clients switch to W2K then I would be ........ Any input will be much appreciated.

Many thanks
