SYMPTOMSTrying to print a subset of pages from a report by selecting Pages under Print Range in the Print dialog box gives incorrect results if there is a field in a Group Footer band that is set to stretch. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft FoxPro version 2.6a for Windows and Microsoft FoxPro version 2.6a for Macintosh. MORE INFORMATIONSteps to Reproduce Problem1. Put the following code into a .PRG file and run it to create a sample table:
CREATE TABLE test ( descript C (20), notes m)
FOR i = 1 TO 20
APPEND BLANK
m.notes = REPLICATE('X',i*100)
m.descript = "Record " + STR(i)

In the Group Info dialog box, type "RECNO()" (without the quotation marks) in the Group box. Choose OK twice. 4. Create a field in the Group Footer band. In the Report Expression dialog box, type "test.notes" (without the quotation marks) in the Expression box. Under Position Relative To, select the Top--Field Can Stretch radio button. Choose OK. Size the field so that it spans the entire width of the page. 5. Create a field in the Detail band and type "test.descript" (without the quotation marks) in the Expression box. 6.
