Fore some reasons I've got a situation where I can't print report with just one "report form ..." command, but it works rather good with many reports sent to the default printer. It's pretty unfriendly when user needs to cancel printing jobs, but it is acceptable in some way.

But the problem is when I want to offer the "preview" option, because every REPORT FORM xxx PREVIEW opens its own preview window and if I sent a hundred-pages with nearly hundred reports one after another, it's impossible to preview them in this way.

In old DOS apps it wasn't big deal - sending reports to a temporary TXT file, apending them with COPY into one large TXT and then list this file with PageDown ...

I know it is the way to create a PDF and then use Acrobat Reader as a preview tool, but is it possible without using a third-party tools just with VFP?

Is the

REPORT FORM Myform TO FILE MyFile.txt

or something similar useful in any way to preview this file later?

Or any other ideas?

Thank's, Zlatko.
