V11 crashes on PRINT SELECTION

[softmartin]

Hallo,
I am having big problems with print commands. The programme crashes  
every time that I try to execute the following command :

OUTPUT FORM([TRADER];"TR_PRINT2")
        PRINT SELECTION([TRADER])

The background :
  the user makes a selection in the standard list form of the  
table,then selects print in my menu bar which fires the above code.  
The output form was built using the wizard.
I am running 4d v11 (developer) on a MAC with 10.5.2. I am not  
compiling the app but using it with runtime.
The 2 print dialogs are shown, the crash occurs when user hits print  
( or preview or PDF)
TIA
Martin

Here are a few easy things to try:

Remove any code from the form to make sure there isn't something going
on there. One thing in particular that will cause a crash is changing
the current record of the table called in Print Selection while
printing. Querying, Print Selection, Selection to Array, etc. will cause
this, along with regular record navigation calls.

If this doesn't help, it may be something about the form itself. Create
a new form with only a since object on it and print using that. If it
doesn't crash, it's likely something about TR_PRINT2. If it crashes,
then something scarier is going on.

BTW, does this happen on any machine?

Hi there,

Are you using the function SUM in your form? If yes, replace it with  
the function Subtotal. In some cases function SUM causes 4D to crash  
while printing.

Sincerely Yours,

Vahdat Dastpak.

I had a similar experience, and it appeared to be related to trying to  
print a report that did not fit on the paper size that I had  
specified.  V11 tried to change the paper size to one that fit the  
layout, but my printer driver was having none of it.  Moving the  
fields to within the proper margins solved the problem.

This behavior has previously been reported on Mac OS and the QA department
is currently looking into it.

In the meantime, try using the following code snippet, which is equivalent
to your previous code.

OUTPUT FORM([TRADER];"TR_PRINT2")
PRINT SETTINGS(2)
If(OK=1)
        PRINT SELECTION([TRADER];>)
End if

Thanks to everyone who responded.
I managed to print without the app crashing, by using the output form  
option in the wizard instead of the print output form option. It seems  
the wizard doesn´t wizz !
