Hi, Lance. Thanks for the answer to my question. I am using 5.0 and I
found the examples in the ObjectPal Guide. It does work but because I am
printing a report "version" of my "order form" and that the report is
based on a query's answer table, my PC is slowing down lots to print the
report (especially when I want to fax the "order" to my customer). I
have "only" 8 megs of RAM and a 386-40 CPU. PDOXWIN is definetly a
memory HOGGGG! I think I need to write some code into the method to
close the "order form" before the code to print executes. Does this
sound like a good solution? Or is there a way to base the report on a
filter instead of a query's answer table...just too many windows open at
print time!!! Thanks for the help in advance.
