I see, I did not read your message carefully enough. So you let users edit the VFP reports, but what do you do when you have a new version of a report? I previously thought about a feature like that but could not come up with a good solution for all those scenarios.

In any case, here is the preview code, it is part of another project, so you see a lot of other PRG's in the project that you can just ignore, just look into Preview.PRG and maybe you can get some ideas from there.

(There is a missing file when you open the project, you can ignore and then remove it because it is not used.)
