Even though the help file lists them that way .. it won't work!! It's touchy about the order of the PREVIEW clause. It has to come after the TO PRINTER clause.
This will cause an error (Missing comma -- which makes no sense!): REPORT FORM junk NOCONSOLE preview TO PRINTER PROMPT This will run: REPORT FORM junk NOCONSOLE TO PRINTER PROMPT preview Just a wild guess ... Check to see what your default printer driver is set to. Is that the same printer you are selecting when you try it without the PREVIEW clause. The "PREVIEW" will use whatever your default printer is. The TO PRINTER PROMPT will obviously use whatever printer you select.
