Thks for a tip Jaime
That worked like a charm.
BTW I was pleasently surprised with Document Imaging
report preview capabilities. My accountant loved
the fact that you can easily highligh numbers with green pen let say.
For them this will be excellent when they exchange reports
among themselves.
BTW do you by any chance have sample of running doc imaging from VFP
and passing existing tif file for preview ?
And what is the problem with colors, do they just slow down
printing to file or file gets distorted etc ?
TIA
