Thanks to all who answered me on this. Yes, if I want a literal image I'm not going to do better than a screen print. I'm trying to get an image that is not literal --that loses a lot of the fine shading and detail and instead simply shows the controls, and prompts and in what order they occur.

This way, before I write a line of code, I can show a user a sort of screen extract without the interface details. This acts as a final check on whether there are any foul-ups in my data design. Have I missed an attribute? Have I placed one in the wrong table?

It is a lot harder to tell this from a screen print than from the kind simplified cartoon of a screen that an HTML conversion would produce. Currently I design my screens in visio and get user approval before I actual start using the class designer to draw my prototypes. This is an absurd step. The class/form designer is a great prototyping tool -- except that a screen print is the only way to get printed output. There is not simplifed or what I'm now thinking of as "Cartoon" print out of the screen -- one that omits interface details and show control order, and approximate layout.

An export to HTML would be perfect for this purpose. It is almost inevitablet that exactly the level of detail I want to lose would be lost in an export to HTML.

I could then use VFP the way you are supposed to -- as a combined prototying and coding tool, rather than protyping in a third party package.

Anyway, I guess the big question is: has anyone successfully exported a form to HTML?

BTW, for in case you are curious as to why I don't simply show the user prototypes on the screen -- the system is being designed for 300 users scattered over several cities. Sending people documents is a whole lot easier than sending them prototype VFP applications.

I know there are third party prototyers out there -- quite good ones. But this is a poor second choice to just being able to export forms to a simplified version.

Isn't the Save As HTML supposed to save a form as HTML? Am I using it wrong, or does it's not working mean my configuration is fouled up?

Thanks
