BUG: The text specified by using the HEADING clause of the REPORT FORM command is printed over the column headings in Visual FoxPro

WORKAROUND

The misalignment occurs only when a quick report is printed with the HEADING clause.

FoxPro 2.x

Use the following workaround if you are seeing this behavior while using the RQBE tool:

1. Using the MODIFY command, open the report created by the query.
2. From the Report menu, choose Data Grouping.
3. Choose Add, and then type _PAGENO in the Group box. Choose OK twice.
4. Move all the fields and text from the Page Header band to the Group Header band.
5. Save the report.
6. Using the MODIFY command, open the query.
7. Choose Options, select Report, clear the Overwrite File checkbox, and choose OK.
8. Using the DO command, execute the query.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

To reproduce this problem, issue the following code in the Command window:

    CREATE REPORT test.frx FROM C:\FoxProW\Tutorial\Salesman ;
       WIDTH 637 COLUMN
    USE C:\FoxProW\Tutorial\Salesman
    REPORT FORM test.frx HEADING "This is a test" PREVIEW
				

NOTE: This example assumes that the SALESMAN database resides in the FOXPROW\TUTORIAL subdirectory on drive C. If this subdirectory does not exists on your C drive, change the pathname and use any database in your FoxPro directory.
To reproduce this problem in Visual FoxPro 6.0 and later, issue the following code in the Command window:

    CREATE REPORT test.frx FROM HOME(2)+"data\customer" ;
       WIDTH 637 COLUMN
    USE  HOME(2)+"data\customer"
    REPORT FORM test.frx HEADING "This is a test" PREVIEW
