Either of the two options you listed would work.

Let me describe the situation. Customer creates multiple work order (at different time, depending on when a problem occurred). And, for each work order, they save a PDF of what a service company did to fix the problem. So, they have a bunch of records in a Work Order Table and a bunch of PDFs sitting on a drive. They want to see - in one screen/report/whatever - all dates when the problem occurred, the dates when it occurred and the content of the PDF file. Therefore, this will show them the history of problems.

Did I answer your questions?

>>>PDF is very complex and many PDF's features VFP doesn't support.
