Just an addition, it was covered back around 6/98 under Print Preview... Here is how I control it...

At the beginning of the main program I create a form and remove some of the controls and force a maximized setting so the report never show up as half a screen.

public Rep_Preview
Rep_Preview = createobject( "form" )
With Rep_Preview
    .Caption = "Report Preview"   && or whatever you want 
    .Closable = .F.
    .Controlbox = .F.
    .MaxButton = .F.
    .MinButton = .F.
    .Name = "MyPreviewWindow"   && used in the report command
    .WindowState = 2   && always in maximized mode
    .Visible = .F.
EndWith

Then when actually running the report command, just add the window name

rep_preview.visiblt = .t.
report form preview window "MyPreviewWindow"
rep_preview.visible = .f.


This way the user can never click on the top right "X" to close the window and the window will always be in the maximized state.
