>>>Hi All,

>>>I have these reports created in code.

>>>What I have been trying to do is open the report and save it 'quietly'.

>>>I can do it buy involking an external script that sends a keypress "Y" to that dialogue wneh it shows up. But I am trying to clamp down on scripting so any ideas of achieving this purely in VFP please?
