When printing our reports from our VFP app we usually get a "print dialog" (from preview) with a way to navigate from page to page, and more importanly print!
Had a user lose that dialog, am assuming he pressed the escape key. In any event how do we get it back?
....been a long week... TIA, Desmond

Desmond,
Too vague.. Are you using a third party tool to preview your reports? I think FoxyPreviewer has a setting one could turn off the Print Dialog with.
Are you talking about the toolbar that appears above the standard VFP Report Previewer? If so, that tool bar position and if it is visible is stored in a FoxUser table. UNLESS you have RESOURCE=OFF in the CONFIG.FPW that is built in to the EXE. Which is how the main program I work on does it. It also uses a compiled in stripped down FoxUser table. It turns it on just before printing then turns it off after printing.

No not a third party. report form whatever preview... When previewing a report there is a dialog with a printer icon that allows the report to print... See attached screen shot. Got to be something really simple I am missing...
Thank you for your reply!

Is it the header of the .frx and the info it stores about the printer ?

No attachments get through the list. If you want us to see the image you'll need to put it on the web and give us a link.

Leafe.com doesn't allow attachments. Post to one of the many image websites (imgur, flickr, etc.) and send us a link.
In the preview there is a right-click context menu available - does that show a 'Printer' option?
What is your default printer in Windows set to?
You could try opening your FOXUSER.DBF exclusively, taking a backup copy and then:
delete for id = "9REPPREVIEW"
and packing.
Woohooo... that was it! It was a Foxuser located in a shared folder on the network. Erased the existing foxuser files and the dialogs have returned.... Thanks everyone for your help and patience....
