No Report

Maybe, but it was hid behind edit screen. What happened when the reports failed to save was that the little dialog box that counts off the number of pages as they save would pop up, and then that box, and everything else would freeze up. The edit screen was frozen, the graphics screen was frozen. It was only when I quit the program that I found the output file name dialog. And then there was nothing to save. Went and checked the parts I needed to check on another machine. After I read your response, I tried to print the report screen. I was able to do that, but the output box was then visible. Had to make a folder to save it into, but it worked.

I guess I'm ignorant about this, lol and other things, but I've never seen the output file name dialog before. When I make a new program, I go to file/printing/report windowprint setup/ and then I'm at the Output configuration box. I use it to make a path, and whenever I save a report, it all works automatically. I just change the dates and other specifics, and push save. Easy peezy.

Not sure where this thing came from. Can i shut it off? Have I always needed it and just didn't know it?

Thanks for your help, I'm going home for the weekend. Maybe I'll know better Monday.
