Jess,

>It seems that VFP9.0 don't have the capability yet to produce reports in PDF, Excel formats. Only in HTML, XML formats. I just can't see in the documentation, am I right on this one?

As others have mentioned, there are several commercial products that can handle your requirements. I keep hearing very nice things about XFRX, and I have had good success with Mind's Eye Report Engine (which also has a VFP9 version).

In addition, FoxTalk 2.0 has just published a major PDF article by Lisa Slater Nicholls, showing how to have your application reliably and transparently install GhostScript and the required Postscript drivers with no user intervention required. She provides extensive source code in a download file, including some very interesting ReportListener code, although the techniques she writes about can be used in every version of FoxPro, including 2.6.

It's in the June issue, and that article is now available FREE for everyone at:
