Hi Michael & thank u!

I do have overlapping boxes.

To give you the picture:

One large secondary window with frame around it & a smaller window overlapping the first one with frame & a box with the following code:

BOX WIDTH '77.95' CH HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW

BOX WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '3.2' LN FRAME 10 TW

BOX YPOS '1.1' LN WIDTH '78.00' CH HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW

Any idea?

The print drivers are not as good at handling overlapping and nested boxes as the print preview. If the boxes share coordinates the print driver may only print one of the boxes. This is a common problem if you use nested boxes to divide an area into columns.

Can you provide the code you use to produce the boxes?

hi,

In that boxes you need to mention what do you want, i think boxes in print preview not displayed.

Thanks & Regards,
