Pamela (via Marty),
Marty has the right approach. You don't even have to add to your Word doc line-by-line, just use the MailMerge facility, and merge in your table.

I've been working with developing and formatting Excel files, then e-mailing them as an attachment from VFP5 and it works just fine.

>Ms. Bulmahn,
>I'm not as savvy as most of the people who hang out here, so this solution may not be best, but it's what we're planning to do.
>
>If you use automation to print your report with MS Word in the first place, i.e. do a SELECT and then write a prog that pokes each line into a WORD object, you would then have what you want as far as formatted output to email.

>As for saving a report to file, I don't think you're going to have much luck with that. The two ideas that spring to mind are:
>
>- Can VFP 6.0 do this?
>- What about FoxFire?
>
>Good luck!

>>I would like to send a report (generated with VFP5.0 report form) to the e-mail system to be sent to a broker outside of our office.
>>Is there a programatic way to use a feature like MS Word "send"?
>>The report has several fonts and shapes. I have tried sending the report to file but I must be missing something as I can't get it to print from e-mail as an attachment. I am also looking for an automated method so the user does not need to initiate e-mail manager.
>>Thank You.
>>Pamela Bulmahn.
