The other option is to load the generic print driver and print to it. I know that there are other print drivers out there for like RTF and AcroBat. You might want to check into these. If you want to upgrade to VFP there is a command called REPORT FORM myReport TO FILE ASCII, which doesn't format it quite right.

Right and that is what I said here "The other option is to load the generic print driver and print to it. I know that there are other print drivers out there for like RTF and AcroBat. " in the first message I posted to him.
