The card is grey on printing!!

Jan, thanks for the info. Yes, this is happening in the IDE. I haven't built a stand-alone and tested yet, but I suspect the same thing would happen. I guess it's off to Bugzilla. ;)

Is there a way to apply the "Print" command to just a field? In my developing, I couldn't find a solution to this, which is why I went with "revPrintField". Any advice would be most welcome.

Dave, I'll give your suggestion a shot, but I think you're right about the difference between printing a card and a field. Really appreciate the input!

Thanks for all the help!

joe.

I had this same problem, but solved it by going to the colors and patterns
in the card inspector.  I clicked on the square for background in the
'color column', chose crayons from the list and snow from the color
choices.  After that the grey was gone from the card.  This situation may
be a little different in that I was printing cards, not fields.

The answer I gave should work for those cases when
you're using the 'print' command.
Your case involves the revPrintField command, where
you don't have control over the stack that is used for
printing.

A few questions :
- does this happen in the IDE or only in standalones ?
- if only in standalones, have you let the
distribution builder apply the default colours ?

If it also happens in the IDE, a trip to bugzilla is
in order, I think :-)
