>thanks for the input. ZOOM WINDOW MAX is smart. I use a DEFINE WINDOW .. REPORT PREVIEW WINDOW construct. because I like to have something that is a little bit smaller the maximized.

>>>I am using VFP 8.0
>>>I have created a MDI form and use the same as my desktop for the application.
>>>To preview the reports I use _screen
>>>The code is as follows:
>>> _screen.Visible = .T.
>>> _screen.WindowState = 2
>>> REPORT FORM rptCustomerMaster PREVIEW IN SCREEN TO PRINTER PROMPT
>>> _screen.Visible = .F.
>>>Now the problem is I am not able to show the report window so generated as maxzimized.
>>>Can anyone please suggest me a solution.
>>
>>There are several solutions to this. One is to create a form with WindowState set to 2, as Agnes suggests, and send your report to that form.
>>
>>Another is to SET RESOURCE TO a file that you ship with the app. If you run the report yourself and maximize it before you deliver the app, that setting will be stored in the resource file.
>>
>>The easiest way (I think) is to put a ZOOM WINDOW MAX command in the BeforeOpenTables method of the report's DE.
