>Hi guys, We will prepare an application, which has the peculiarity that each item has an associated quote file format. Rtf file that contains detailed about each item and formatted with bold, font, captions, etc.., The party of record in the database data is operating, 2 points to be lacking even we can’t solve:
>1 - In the report vfp native, as one might do to further detail in the printed code, quantity, price, print the contents of this file. Rtf properly, that is, automatically adjust the size, since each file has a very different size and does not boil over when you change pages, etc…
>2 - How could generate a .pdf file of this report, where you can send parameters like file name, directory to be saved, and the name of the report, also if you can set properties such as author, subject, comments, etc.

>I would also consult on what kind of field would be adequate to keep the information .Rtf, I keep the path where the files if they have a better suggestion, thanks.

I've always held RTF fields in a memo field in the database.
To see the RTF on a form, I use an ActiveX control that should already bee installed on your machine (Microsoft Rich Textbox Control)

...getting it to work right on a report is more difficult. I had access to FireFox http://info.foxfirereporting.com/ and got it to work just fine with that, and I've also used Crystal Reports to deal with it. Perhaps other members here can offer more insight to getting RTF controls to display right with the VFP reports...
