Hi Mark

you're questions are not really related so it might have been better to send them as separate ones - IAC :
>1) Is it possible to alter the color of a field var or heading in the report designer (for color output to a color printer) ?

View menu - collor pallete toolbar - and then click on an Item and you can change it's color

>2) Is it possible to call GETFONT() or an equivalency with the CURRENT settings (fontsize, name, color...) rather than just popping up a fresh box (example purpose could be someone has the fontsize set to 12, goes to the GETFONT() box and wishes to enlarge his/her text, but doesn't know from whence's he's started; if the initial parameters could be set to popup starting with fontsize of 12...)

in VFP6 you can

>3) Are you having fun yet? ;-)

'course we are :)

>4) Anyone know of a simplistic way to be able to click a button on a form and pop-up a dialog box to send an EMAIL message? How about a website? I've checked around and downloaded a couple of freeware programs, but nothing's worked; one of the zip files is even corrupt.

one way is to get a SMTP OCX and automate that - the exact code changes according to the OCX you use
for webbrowsing you can automate the browser (you can look at Ken Levy's site - www.classx.com - for a wrapper to IE)
