The Runtime 8 challange

[Gene Rideout]

We've recently upgraded from pdox 5 to pdox 8 and redelivered all our
application files to work under runtime 8.

Has anyone noticed that certain functions that worked fine in pdox 8
suddenly tend to die in runtime 8?

Particularly disturbing is the printing. Our app sends forms (not
reports) to the printer (this is due to the fact that our printouts need
to be exact representations of existing documents and it is difficult to
do so in a report). The command used to send the form to the printer is
'menuaction(menufileprint)' inside a pushbutton method. In paradox the
command works fine, however, in runtime after a few attempts at
executing the pushbutton method it quits working, no errors, the forms
are opened but nothing gets sent to the printer.

Is this a problem in Runtime 8, a bug? The above described situation
worked well in Paradox 5. Or is this an objectpal problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

I have had the same thing happen in Paradox 8 as well as runtime. if you
call a report.open it is fine, report.print fails with no error.
