SYMPTOMS

When a FoxPro for MS-DOS report containing box objects is printed under FoxPro for Macintosh without being transported, the borders of the box objects are displayed as characters instead of lines.

RESOLUTION

To print the box objects correctly, use one of the following methods:

Before printing the report, set the printer font to FoxFont as follows:
```
      SET PRINT FONT "FOXFONT",12
						
```
-or-
Transport the FoxPro for MS-DOS reports before printing them under FoxPro for Macintosh.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
