Hi Russel,

I hv read about this behavior changes you are mentioning,
but for as long old reports are perforiming the same as before
(with default 80) it is ok with me - I am buying it :)

Thks 4 your feedback

>If you just recompile in VFP 9, then your reports will continue to print using the VFP 8 report behavior (since that's the default) and you will see no difference at all. If you do more than simply recompile - specifically, add a SET REPORT BEHAVIOR 90 statement - then you will notice two things:
>
>1) Text is rendered slightly wider, so some numeric fields on reports may start displaying asterisks because the number is now wider than the field.
>
>2) It may take longer to generate the report and so it will be longer before the user can see it in preview mode or before it comes out of the printer.
>
>But, of course, there are some nice benefits, so it's just a matter of testing with each report and deciding which report behavior to use with them.
