>My client needs me to create a form (report) that is just one record but extends over 4 pages. I can of course have 4 reports. There has to be a better way.


Hi Tim

Take look at www.report-sculptor.com (Free)


You can do 4 page report in fully WYSIWYG mode (absolute positioning) using simple foxpro pageframe.
You dump pageframe on your form. Design 4 pages of that pageframe exactly as you wanted them to show |
using form textboxes and labels (and pics etc) and then output it using simple function call.
No need going through hoops with artificial dummy cursor, printwhen etc.
(Note that you can use native VFP controls or controls of any framework you use.)


=rsReportPageFrame(thisform.myReportPageFrame)


See samples there there are few of them using PageFame as design surface.



It can go straight to VFP9 Preview/Print, or PDF or TIF if you choose.
It can be also sent directly to XFRX preview/exports if you are licenced user.
