>Thanks for the reply Brandon. Yes it fails when I try it before compiling. The pdf is created but can not use it because it has zero bytes. But if I try the same application in VFP8, it works without altering anything and works after compiling too. I'm lost . . .

I use XFRX for PDFs, but anytime I see a 0 byte PDF or one that can't be opened produced, it has always been a case of no data for a page so a page was empty.
