Product(s): Microsoft FoxPro
Version(s): 6.0,7.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbReportWriter kbvfp600 kbGrpDSFox kbDSupport kbCodeSnippet kbvfp700

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 6.0, 7.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you preview a report form that was created in Visual FoxPro 6.0 or 7.0, the
page numbers that appear in the title bar may not be incremented when you use
the navigation buttons in the report preview toolbar to move through the report.
This behavior occurs on Microsoft Windows XP-based computers. This behavior
occurs in the Visual FoxPro development environment and in compiled Visual
FoxPro programs.


RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this behavior, use any of the following methods:

- Turn off visual themes for the Visual FoxPro program (if the behavior occurs
  in the development environment) or in your program file (if the behavior
  occurs in a distributable program file).

- Preview the report in a window that is not maximized. If the report preview
  window is not maximized, the page number is incremented properly.

- Place the report preview window in a window that you define. The following
  sample code creates a window and previews the report full-screen in the
  defined window:

  PUBLIC ofrmPreview
       ofrmPreview = NEWOBJECT("PreviewForm")
          ** Replace "Report1" with the name of your report (.frx) file.
       REPORT FORM Report1 PREVIEW WINDOW "PreviewForm" NOCONSOLE
       RELEASE ofrmPreview
       
  DEFINE CLASS PreviewForm AS FORM
       HEIGHT = _SCREEN.Height
       WIDTH = _SCREEN.Width
       CAPTION = ""
       MAXBUTTON = .F.
       NAME = "PreviewForm"
  ENDDEFINE

2. Maximize the report.
