>Thanks for your reply. I realize that issues reported may not always be absolute, but at least I will have a head-up in case I do encounter them. I'm glad to hear about the stability of this upgrade, not only from you but other users.

>While I have your ear so to speak, do you have any insight regarding the alleged slowness of the new reporting engine. There was one message I saw the other day that refered to huge print spooler files for the same report compared to version 8 report. One user replied stating that he suspected that it was because it now uses GDI+ and creates bitmaps rather than printer descriptions of each page. Is there any validity to this? the resulting files were said to be 1.66 G compared to 3.2 M for the version 8 spooled file.

I don't keep track or work on technical issues reported on VFP. While things like this may exist, sometimes there are work arounds and sometimes there is error on the part of the developer reporting it. My best advise is for you to simply tro this and other parts of your application and development in VFP 9.0 to discover if all is fine or if you have any issues. Fro the thousands of people who have successfully upgraded to VFP 9.0, I only know of 2 who found very specific issues holding them back and those are being investiaged for work arounds or other solutions.
