I can only "print to file" - why???

[simone1717]

That's a strange fact: a friend of mine gave me a filemaker database (Filemaker 7 - win xp) to fill with simple records in which there are one image and some text fields; whenever I try to print (menu' file-print) the current record or selected records, it comes out a windows saying "print to file" and it leaves the space to fill with the file name. No way to print to the printer.

If I make a simple filemaker 7 database by myself (in the same computer) the printing is OK and it prints.

What can be causing this???

Thanks a lot for helping

May be your system settings is such? Can you print in other applications?

Of course; all the other applications print correctly.

AND, as I wrote, it looks like being a problem of that database only, I I make a new one it works correctly and it prints....

FM will remember the settings that were last used for printing. When you select File>Print, the print dialog box appears. There should be a check box for Print to File, remove the check from this box.

You were RIGHT! I didn't see the little box was checked.

Thanks a lot and sorry for such a stupid question.
