Thanks Evan

I guess this is a case for brute force. Our workstation image has Acrobat in it (mostly because it is free). So, I guess I will use it. The machines generating the reports will need the Acrobat writer though (may mean $$$$). I will check out FoxWord cost wise.

Maybe this kind of printing + RTF, ... is a candidate for the VFP 7 wish list?
