Not really!

Forgot to say, this was the DOS version of Moneywise.

Now, it works fine at work on our old Olivetti 286, and also using
the Windows version of Moneywise on a 486 I've printed all the
reports fine, so I think the data is safe, it must just be a clash
with my machine.

I've backed up the working DOS installation on the 286 and brought
it home - still the same problem.

 > What sort of report is it ?

Just columns of headings/digits. It's the same whether I print to
screen or file - it hangs immediately. All the other reports which
are similar all work fine. (The awkward one is the "activity"
report. The others e.g. "Account History, Trial Balances, etc, are
similar layout). It's not posh and graphical. It works on the
Olivetti EGA monitor.

I have definitely printed this report at home before, but that was a
year ago, so I have upgraded hardware/configs etc since then.

So the question remains (as a curiosity rather than a life-and-death
issue):

        What sort of problem means that, on one set of hardware
only, several similar reports all work fine, but one almost
identical report, same data, same format, doesn't work??
