print form is blank

[gmannwis]

Hi,
Not a programmer but have built a functional database for my business. I am trying to fax a form with a fax cover using a record from a different table. I'm using print form so both forms use a single phone call. The fax cover prints with no fields filled in though the main fax prints fine. I traced the print method and the cover record is there but no data prints on the form. Here is the method I'm using:
                PRINT SETTINGS
                If (OK=1)
                        CONFIRM("Print document w/ Physician fax cover?")
                        If (OK=1)
                                QUERY([Physicians];[Physicians]Full Name LF=[Doc Archives]DocMD)
                                Case of
                                        : (Records in selection([Physicians])=0)
                                                ALERT("No physician file found.")
                                                OK:=0
                                        : (Records in selection([Physicians])>1)
                                                ALERT("Multiple physician files found.")
                                                OK:=0
                                End case
                                If (OK=1)
                                        Print form([Physicians];"FaxCover")
                                        PAGE BREAK
                                End if
                        End if
                        Print form([Doc Archives];$DocName)
                        PAGE BREAK
                End if
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
George

George,

What version of 4D are you using?  It may also be good to call a page setup
using the form you are about to print:

PAGE SETUP([Physicians];"FaxCover")

If you are using 4D 2004.7, download the latest release.  There are some
printing issues in the original release.  (Although unconfirmed, updating to
2004.7r3 corrected the exact same issue in my project)

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
Right now I'm using version 7.0.4. I recently moved to a laptop and this is
the version I got working. I actually stumbled into realizing that nothing
on the background page of the form was printing with the print form command.
I moved everything to the top page and all is printing fine. Thanks for your
response, I'll keep the page setup in mind. Hadn't thought of that.
George
