Blank lines in text output files

[AlvinET]

Have been having trouble with "random" blank lines in
reports output as text files. Found Q208436 (set box
height to even multiple of 1/8") to remove all but blank
line at top of file.

Anyone know how to get rid of that first blank line? (I
think it is due to the query field name line in the query
the report is built from)

Reports are graphical images and do not lend themselves to
the character nature of text files. You should find another
way to do this job.

Either export a query with the desired data or use File I/O
statments (Open, Print, etc) to write directly to the file.
