Thanks to your guys help, I now have a working report that "exports"
correctly, no blank lines.

  However I do not want user to have to select File, Export, select
parameters, or enter file name.

So how do I automate selecting a report,  have that report exported
(as right click on report, export),  as MS-DOS,  assign a
directory/file name, done without the user having to make a choice,
except select "Print Report"from switchboard.

report name is AClass   file name is E:\class\Class.txt

Thanks
