	Quote: Since you moved the declarations for vLoop and vCount into the Subroutine, you will probably want to remove the originals so that you don't confuse yourself. Yup, did that, direct transplant. Quote: Also you may want to include a message that tells your users that they can not print more than 20 invoices at a time incase they try to print 21. This way you save yourself the "IT'S NOT WORKING" message from your users. Probably. But with this situation, unlike a real problem, I know in advance why it's not working. So, forearmed and smug with self-confidence, I can easily maintain my status as a miracle worker. HELLO, COMPUTER!! WHIP ME UP SOME TRANSPARENT ALUMINUM!! THERE BE WHALES HERE!!! (Yes, I have Star Trek on my mind today. About an hour ago I bought a ticket to the November 19 theatrical showing of the remastered "The Menagerie". I've never seen Trek on the big screen, it should be a hoot.) P.S. There's only 1 user who would ever be printing a "batch" of Invoices, and I've already told her about the limits, so there will be no surprises.

Well Scott after a very tiring search we just found your printing problem and It has nothing to do with the printer. In Global Code you have a subroutine named ChecKItemLength. In that subroutine is the problem. You are calling PrintString without calling NewPage() and CancelPage(). PrintString as documented on Page 309 of the Sesame 2.0 Programming Guide will call NewPage(), if a Print Page does not already exist and set the width as 750 and the height as 1000. Now you may be wondering what that has to do with your printing of invoices. It's simple. If a Print Page already exists a new one is not created when NewPage() is called. So your invoices are being printed using a grid of 750 by 1000 after that subroutine is run and a grid of 850, 1100 before that subroutine is run. Which results in I believe a 12% shift on the X and a 9% shift on the Y, which results in the skewed results that you were getting. And it would only happen after leaving certain elements which results in your "Random" problem. So what you are going to want to do is in the ChecKItemLength subroutine add a NewPage(850, 1100) call before the PrintString call and a CancelPage() call at the end of the subroutine. Also check for other places where you may be doing the same thing, as I've seen a few. -Ray

	Ray, if you were here, or I were there, I would kiss you. Seriously. I would grab you in a bear hug and plant one right on you, and Ben too. I can't begin to thank you enough for all the work you did to solve this problem. I have never, ever in my life, encountered such willing and able customer support for any software or hardware device I have ever used. You folks are amazing. I apologize for the sloppy coding and lack of research to do it correctly to begin with. I'm not sure where I got the base code for the routine to check item length but I really should have read more about the process before instituting it. I'm sorry to have been such a pain but I am overwhelmingly grateful that you put up with me and my problem through all this. THANK YOU!!
