>>I'm developing an application with e-mail capabilities by using IDSMail. The main requirement is that the application be able to send reports via e-mail so that recipients without FP can view the reports. The problem is that FP does not have a native way of sending reports other than to preview or to a binary/ASCII file. The binary file is printer specific (includes printer codes for your current default printer) and the ASCII file does not have the nice format used for windows reports (lines, boxes, etc. (even color)).
>>Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just to expand on that, you do need to buy the PDFWriter software from adobe to use the class in the files section. It just provides a nice interface from VFP to Adobe's software.
