Yes, that's another "old fashioned" way, but one I was never too fond of. Often the report is excluded from the EXE in order to accomplish this, though I think VFP will let you copy it out of the EXE and to a temp file that you can then modify, print, and delete. At least that's the way I remember it (I just don't do that, so I'm a little fuzzy here).
