Printing issues that have been going on for a couple years that I hope to get fixed;

1) Running any report and before printing begins LOGic opens the "Run Report Options" form where you can choose options for printing, i.e., Select Criteria, Output To (Printer, Screen, Printer dump to file, etc.). If I choose "Output To Printer" and click the printer radio button the report prints fine. If I leave the "Run Report Options" form open and again click on the Printer radio button the report will print a second time just fine, I can do this all day long IF the "Run Report Options" form remains open.

However, if I close the "Run Report Options" form and run a new report, clicking on the Printer radio button immediately pops-up a LOGic dialog box looking for a Tables/DBF (*.dbf file) in the root directory of LOGic. Its near impossible to close this dialog box by clicking on "Close", each click gives a windows "DING", I got it to close once after hitting Close over a hundred times. If you try to "X" out of the window it does the same thing and hitting Escape also does the same thing so your forced to do a CNTRL-ALT-DEL to open Task Manager and do an End Task to shut down LOGic.

Tried checking Close after printing in the "Run Report Options" form, that didnt work, also tried to modify the report by enabling CLOSE AFTER PRINTING, no luck with that either. Dennis you may need to log in to my PC to see whats happening.

2) Running any report and choosing "Print to Screen" from the "Run Report Options" form launches FoxyPreviewer. I can print from FoxyPreviewer on normal paper (8-1/2 x 11) all day long, report after report without issue. If I try to print QSL cards or Envelopes the margins are messed up and the incorrect paper tray is selected, its like it can only print from Tray 1 which in my case has 8-1/2 x 11 paper, Tray 2 is for other sizes. NOTE: Printing to Printer as in Issue 1) above (NOT TO SCREEN and NOT THROUGH FOXYPREVIEWER) will print QSL cards and Envelopes from Tray 2 just fine (of course ONLY 1 time). So FoxyPreviewer isnt getting or can't process paper size, margins or printer tray parameters from LOGic report settings if anything other than 8-1/2 x 11 and outputting to Tray 1. I tried looking in FoxyPreviewer but cant find where it even lets you select printer tray. If it could print correctly then I wouldnt care if Issue 1) above was resolved.

3) Note also FoxyPreviewer v3.00.307b-2024-Aug-07 was the last version that works. Many months ago I tried to update to v3.00.311-2024-Aug-17 and after hitting print-to-screen from LOGics dialog box FoxyPreviewer opens for a split second then closes. You can just barely see it open then abruptly close. LOGic's print dialog box remains open and no errors are thrown nor does anything lock-up. Same issue with subsequent versions 3.00.312-2024-08-12 all the way through 3.00.361-2025-Jul-16.

Thanks for any help,
Brad K8ZM
