This has been a problem that I can not solve or even understand how it could
happen.

I generate some data on a summary sheet and display it in the View mode, I
also have data in the header & footer of this sheet. When I print out the
sheet everything prints except one field and that happens to be the title of
the summary sheet. I have changed fonts, font size, font color, made new
layouts, I have moved the title field from the header to the footer, I have
deleted the field and install it under a new name with the same problem.
This summary Sheet has 15 rows of data I installed this field with-in the
body (for trial only) of each row and with-in the 15 rows it printed once.
This I do not understand, that telling me field is there but will only print
once in while.

I preview the summary sheet before it prints and it shows the title field
there, I print it's not there, I look at the preview again it shows the
field.

I would appreciate someone to give some advice on my problem.

I am using FM Pro9, with Windows XT

If I am not clear, please ask for more information.

The first question would have been whether the field is set to not
print, but it obviously is okay since it displays in Preview mode.

Does the field have any conditional formatting applied to it? Is the
field itself a calc field? If yes to either of these questions, please
provide the calc.

Does the field use the same font as other fields on the layout, or might
it be an unusual font?

Which version of XP are you using -- SP2 or SP3? And is your FileMaker
upgraded to the latest (9.0v3)?

To answer your Questions. . .

Does the field have any conditional formatting applied to it? No.
Is the field itself a calc field? No a Text field.
Does the field use the same font as other fields on the layout, or might it
be an unusual font? I have tried the same font and other fonts.
Which version of XP are you using -- SP2 or SP3? SP3.
And is your FileMaker upgraded to the latest (9.0v3)? No 9.0

I know you might feel the version 9.0 might the problem, but in my gut I
don't think that's it.

New developments in my print problem.

I installed a fill pattern with-in the field and that prints, it's the Text
that's not printing. So there is something with-in the text not functioning
properly.

I am now using FM 8.0v3 with Windows XT SP3.
