[Dxbase] Printer selections

Thu Aug 2 17:29:25 EDT 2007

George and Peter,
After seeing George's email, I doublechecked to make sure that
there is "nothing" that I could do - when I MAKE the Standard
Reports (using Crystal Reports). There is nothing in any OPTIONS
in Crystal Reports -- and from what I can see right now, the
Crystal Reports program itself must be "coded" for a left-mouse
click only.. Normally, when we write a program (source code),
the ICON's can be setup for left-mouse and/or right-mouse
click -- but, in the case of the Standard Reports, the
right-mouse click is simply NOT there.. I can see that
the Labels and List/Report Output DOES have the Printer ICON
"coded" for the right-click of the mouse to bring up the
chance to change the printer..
Very possibly, Jack might have some comments also about the
Standard Reports.
73 fer nw,
Joe WA6AXE
