Title:
New DOS->VFP converter, will pay $
When I switched to VFP from DOS (VFP version 5), I left all of my reports in DOS because of 3 problems:
1. My reports are 132 column financial reports that can run in either portrait or landscape and I have never found a font that is readable in the equivalent of 132 columns in VFP reports in portrait.
2. My current reports will automatically resize to portrait or landscape depending on the printer setup selected (done through a 2 pass report system, write to a file, then output to another report with the font set for portrait or landscape).
3. There are over 2000 reports to convert so this needs to be automated and correct. I would like to go in over time and add the visual features but I don't want to have to touch every report when I cut over.
I've looked and played with this problem for years and haven't been able to solve it. If I need to pay someone to write some software to give me a solution for this, I am open to this.
If anyone would like an example of the type of report I am trying to convert let me know and I can email you a sample.
Thanks.
