Yes. There is a new function in VFP8 which can determine whether it is
previewing or printing. I read it somewhere. Check the Help. If you use
<VFP7, I can't tell. :>

Subject: VFP Report question
I want to show something in the report when a user is PREVIEWING it, but I
don't want it to image when the report goes to the printer. Is that
possible? 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.
For example, I want to highlight a detail's entire row (using a filled
rectangle around the detail items and its PrintWhen logic to conditionally
image the filled rectangle to give the "highlight" look) when a certain
scenario exists. 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.
Any ideas?
TIA,
--Michael
