Actually, there's a roundabout way - you may build a COM object in VFP9 which would run your reports, or you could build a reporting server which would do that for you (a sort of a queue handler - easy to write, I've worked with Jim Booth's code which did that, it was one form and one table). Either way, you'd build something in VFP9 which would do that for you, and call it from your VFP6 app. Of course, it would require runtimes and some setup, so you need to estimate the cost, which may be prohibitive or not, depending on how many of those you need to do.
