ALL: SuperBase 4 v1.01 HELP! — PLEASE — I have created a CLIENT RECORD DATABASE for my company with SuperBase4 everthing works — EXCEPT — printing the client registry report. This report was created from within SuperBaseFormDesigner Report Function. This report should place the data for 3 Client Records on a single LetterSize sheet of paper — from within the SuperBaseFormDesigner the TEST FUNCTION correctly prints the data for 6 client records on two sheet of paper PERFECTLY! However, when this report is used the printing is as follows: the data for the first three client records prints exactly on one sheet of LetterSize paper (just like I want) — then the data for only 1/2 of ONE client record appears at the top of the next page and then my printer suddenly preforms a form feed and completes the record at the top of the next page then suddenly preforms another form feed and starts the wierdness all over. I have tried adjust my prefs (this machine is using AmigaDos 1.3) and allways the same nonsense happens — I have tried setting the printer from within SuperBase itself, again to NO avail. I have called OXXI at their 1-900-$$$-$$$$ number to be told that I need to write an external file that has my printer's ASCII value for form length set to 66 — Then I ask, "I am not a programer in anyway, can you tell me exactly how to do this?" — OXXI's briliant response was, "Sir I am not sure what you are talking about" I repeated my question and OXXI again says "Well I don't know what you are talking about" ANY HELP WELL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! P.S.: I am using an OKI-DATA 192 Plus with this Computer. — Gary Lucas —
