preview reports

I work with dBase plus 2.21. For my reports I use preview.wfm version 2.22. 
I want select a page from a report. For example page 4. In the preview I 
fill in 4 in end and startpage. Then I click print. The report prints a page 
with pagenumber 4. The records on the page are the records of the first 
page, starting with record 4.

When I in my report (not in the preveiew container) give a start and endpage 
of 4, then the previewer opens with the right page 4 data and on the preview 
screen you see a start and enpage of 4. When I click print then I get the 
same page as above. The right pagenumber with the data of page 1 starting 
with record 4.

I know ther are later versions of preview but these gave the same results. 
Above that I can't give anymore the number of copies in these later 
versions.

Any suggestions?

Nico,

Version 3.6 works fine for me. I ask it to go to page four and it 
displays the page four data. As for the number of copies you could sub-
class preview.wfm and add a new field for "copies" yourself.

Actually when you click the "Print" button, the dialog asks for the #
of 
copies, it was redundant to put that on the Preview form ...

Ken,

That's a LITTLE bit better than my suggestion. <g> Thanks.

Ok, I know, reading your comments, that it has to work fine! So the only 
question I have is, what can I do wrong to get the results as I describe. 
There has to be something different in my report from your report. But what 
can that be? Is it a suggestion that I send you the report source for 
analyzing? Or do you have an example of a source that works right and that I 
can compare with my source?

Nico.
