-
- I have experienced problems with the following:-
-
- When the Star Wintype 4000 laser printer is the windows default printer,
- if you run a report the exit your program, your are dumped back at the dos prompt.
- There seems to be a conflict with the Star Printer SUMOPRNT.DLL and the crystal
- Reports print engine.
-
- Although my program and reports run perfectly on my developement machine, if I
- install the program on another computer, including all of the required CRPE files,
- the reports just refuse to run.
