You don't say which version of filePro you are using, but unless you have 
some ancient version of filePro, it's not a DOS program, but a Windows program.

This error has nothing to do with printing, despite the fact that it may be 
happening in the part of the code where you print a report.

The problem is that the code is trying to look up a record in a filePro file 
called "temp", which apparently doesn't exist.  Perhaps it wasn't copied 
over to the new Windows box for some reason.  Perhaps, given its name, 
whoever did the move assumed it didn't need to be copied.

Check the old XP box's "filepro" directory, and make sure that everything, 
including the "temp" folder (and everything in it), was copied over.
