     CREATE REPORT customer FROM customer

2. Create and then run a program that contains this code:

     PRINTJOB
     REPORT FORM customer TO PRINT FOR _pageno <=5
     ENDPRINTJOB

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual FoxPro 3.0b
for Windows.
