spinning beach ball, printing, preview

Tom
I just tried this: new database, filled a field with a bunch of text,  
went to printpreview and everything was fine. This suggests something  
is particular to your database.
Do you get the same problem with every single new database you create?
This is what I did with no problem: new database; filled field A with

Coffee is the beverage of the people of God, and the cordial of his  
servants who thirst for wisdom. When coffee is infused into the bowl,  
it exhales the odor of musk, and is of the color of ink. The truth is  
not known except to the wise, who drink it from the foaming coffee  
cup. God has deprived fools of coffee, who with invincible obstinacy  
condemn it as injurious. In it will we drown our adversities, and in  
its fire our sorrows. ~ Transylvanian Medical Society, ca. 1850

print preview of the data sheet ... no problem. Do you have a problem  
with that exact example? Since setting 72 dpi solved your problem, I  
would guess there is something about your form that generates the  
error in printing. I know how frustrating this can be, believe  
me..... I would re-examine your form layouts... or, even though a  
hassle, go through and set each and every form to 72dpi.....if that  
fixes it, you're down the road .
