This article was previously published under Q156788 SYMPTOMS
When you use Print Preview to view a report in FoxPro running under
Windows NT, the text in the report is difficult to read when using a low-
resolution video driver.
RESOLUTION
One of the following methods can be used to resolve this problem:
- The quality of the Print Preview appears to be directly related to the
current video resolution. The higher the video resolution, the better
the quality of the Print Preview. Typically, video resolutions of
1024x768 or higher yield satisfactory Print Preview quality.
-or-
- Create two reports: one for Print Previews and one for printing. In the
report for Print Preview, increase the font size so that it is readable
in Print Preview mode. Note that there is less information placed on
each page in Print Preview mode, which results in the Print Preview
showing more pages than the report that prints to the printer.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. This bug is fixed for Visual FoxPro
versions 5.x with the Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 2. If using a version
