Any conversion will require adjustments. I agree with Yuri - keeping the report in FoxPro-DOS is the best option, especially if you want to keep the formatting. Assuming it still works in VFP 9.

Note: Like any printing in text-mode, this will not work on GDI printers. See Ed Rauh's comments on the "GDI crap".

>We converted (actually VFP did it automatically) the DOS UB92 form (pink form) to VFP. The problem that we are having is vertical spacing. It is not allowing us to control the number of lines per inch that the printer uses. In DOS days you could send a control sequence to the printer to control that or you could specify that in the report layout. There doesn’t seem to be a way in VFP to do that.
