>I have reports which are actually letters my client sends out. Some of the paragraphs are lengthy, longer than a single text box control can handle. So I have to abut consecutive controls. This is inconvenient enough, but when I have to insert iif expressions it becomes almost hopeless. Is there any way to handle larger amounts of text in VFP reports? (I know Word automation is a possibility, but I'm trying to stay within VFP at this point.) Thanks.

You can use one report field and check 'Stretch with overflow' to accommodate variable text sizez.
