Have not coded vfp for a few years in earnest, but first tries would revolve around using/opening the report as table or SQL-Select-cursor and COPY TO temp dir, then on adding the minimal proc you already wrote about...

//upd: Opening tables in .App definately is possible, as we did global replaces of all lookup/tarif tables in insurace via single app - dim memory hints that opening was done from func inside as well, not clear if that was laziness or necessity. You could add sa single factory function to the app, eval() ling a parameter string from exe and are set to work with single proc if similar tasks surface...

I want to copy a FRX/FRT file from the MyApp.App to a TEMP folder. For example, if the FRX/FRT files were in the EXE, I would do the following (which works):
