Michael -
Take a look at Christof Lange's article in the October 1998 issue of FPA
called "Inside the Visual Foxpro Report Designer." In essence, he
suggests testing for the existence of the "Printing..." window that only
exists when the report is being sent to the printer. The test is NOT
WEXIST("Printing..."). I haven't tried this myself, but it seems like
it should work.
