Hi PetC:

I have two ideas for you to try. First, use the ASCII clause on the REPORT
command to create an ASCII text file:

REPORT FORM Test TO FILE ASCII

If that does not help, remove the printer driver information from the
report's Expr, Tag, and Tag2 fields. See this article for more information:

I hope this helps.
