Re: PRTF problem...fields don't go where I want 'em

I definitely only have one printer file with that name.

I have the correct printer file name in my F-specs.

I am specifying the starting position not the ending position for the field.

I recompiled the DDS.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for the reply.
