Thanks Chris,

I'll take a look next week, when I'm back in the office.

We deploy a set of several hundreds "standard" base reports imbedded within our application. These are Read-Only. The users can duplicate them and modify their own version of our "base" reports. This way, they can have has many variant reports as they want. The user reports are never overwritten with software updates. Let me know if you need more infos.

>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.)

>>When SYSMENU is on, no problem. But when we remove the traditional menu and use a Ribbon instead, no Report menu comes up anymore.

>>>How do you run the report? I have some code that displays a report on a separate form, and on the form are the buttons which print, zoom and navigate in the report. If this is what you are looking for, I can send you the code.
