Hey there, I am working with report writer and facing some problems like when I copy or insert the "POP Purchase Order Blank Form" into it and want to make a duplicate copy or check the print out to verify the modified report format but i can see the both options are disable where as same options for other reports are not disabled.?
can some body help on that?

If the Main table of the report is a temp table, then those buttons are disabled. You will need to go back to GP and print to Screen to verify the format of such modified reports.
Hey there, this form is still in Report writer and not yet installed to use so how i can print to screen? please advise?
To test the modified and un-modified version of the report, you will need to go to Administration > Setup > System > Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports. This area controls if the modified or un-modified version is used for printing. Select the ID to use, set Product = Microsoft Dynamics GP, Type = Reports. Expand the report to review and take note of the selection, either "Microsoft Dynamics GP" or "Microsoft Dynamics GP (Modified)". From here, you will need to print the report like you normally would from the user interface. When you print the report, the Report Destination window will open. From here, you can select the type of output, with Screen, Printer, and File options. Once you have the copy of the report, you can go back to Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports and switch to the other format and reprint.
