You can REPORT ... TO FILE... under VFP, under all OS versions; the ASCII option bypasses the Windows print driver, and there are many ways to copy a file to a windows printer. The CopyFile() API gives port names a uniform resolution, even though VFP's COPY FILE...TO does not have uniform recognition of port names on a cross-platform basis.
As far as an 'external program', what do you mean? Are there ASCII viewer - sure. Are there universal semi-graphical output modes that have viewers and printers, again, sure - both Adobe's .PDF (requires that you buy a driver for output) or Encapsulated PostScript (requires that you have more than a slight clue about how PsotScript works) can be generated with VFP. So can HTML formats, and there are (not free) add-ons to generate RTF documents as well. And OLE Automation of Word and other p roducts is possible, which are not options under FPD/FPW.
>2) In our current FoxPro2.6 application, we reference foxfix.fll and foxtools.fll. Are there updated versions which are compatible with VFP6.0?
FoxTools is incoporated in both 5 and 6 (it's provided by MS), some of the functions that were in FoxTools are now ntive to VFP. As to FoxFix, you'll need to check with the vendor.
