Exporting to txt file problem
Ken L 08.08.2006 18:41:02
I have a report that I am exporting to text file but when looking at the
tetxt file the report starts with a blank line shows 2 records then a blank
line, then three records. This pattern repeats, probably at the page break
point.

Any ideas what causes this and how to fix it so my records are together?

thanks

Hi Ken,

You need to make sure that the height of the report's Detail section is
an exact multiple of 0.125 inch (see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/208436/en-us). It may also help to
format the report in a monospaced font (e.g. Courier) and make *all* the
vertical dimensions multiples of 0.125 inch. If you still have problems,
install and select the Windows Generic/Text Only printer driver and
format the report so it previews nicely with this.
