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.

Well , Have you guys try doing some SQL into a cursor with the fields
that you need and then do a COPY TO FILENAME type XLS.

sele field1, field2...etc INTO CURSORX FROM tabelx
use cursorx
copy to cursorxls type xls
