To better illustrate what I'm trying to do, look at this PDF (password is PASSWORD):
http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com/downloads/estimate/Detail1.pdf
I want to image the potential line error (set via flag in my logic) in RED to the screen preview, but print BLACK when going to the printer. For those who aren't aware of the trick, I've simply copied the detail line and overlayed the original, using the PrintWhen logic to conditionally determine which one is imaging on the report.
Here's the current code in the Red object's PrintWhen:
lShowErrors AND lPossibleError
Now if knowing it was going to Printer, I could turn the lShowErrors flag to .f. and achieve what I want, but again the crux of the problem for me comes when the user hits the Printer button from the Preview toolbar.
The quick fix is to not let the report be printed from the Preview, but I don't like that option...I like to preview first, then print from that same preview screen.

I usually always do the REPORT FORM MyReport PREVIEW TO PRINTER NOCONSOLE PROMPT, so keep in mind that the user can print from the Preview window.

In particular, if there's a potential error (via flag I set), I want to highlight that row, but only for visual notification to the user, and not when it gets printed.
