Koen:

You're up late!

I figured out partially what to do:

My main program calls the form NAME, so I have a reference to it:
DO c:\foxypreviewer\foxypreviewer.app

CLOSE all
DO FORM barlabs NAME Barlabs1
read EVENTS
Then, the form call a program which does all the processing for the label. In this program, when I call the report, I first maximize (later I will set the width more closely).
barlabs1.windowstate = 2
LABEL FORM barlabs preview
barlabs1.windowstate = 0
However, #1 I can't see a way to control the size of the Foxypreviewer window! It does not expand to occupy the entire window of the maximized form.

And #2 everything on the toolbar is readonly; I can't click anything on it!

And yes, my form is showwindow=2

Thanks a lot,

Yossi
