CGM, (Computer Graphics Metafile), is a file format created by our 3d cad software. I have an active-x control that allows me to view the files in a form, browser, etc... The problem is that I am being asked to build a report around these files. I can't print them. I can't store them in a general field, drop them in the report designer, use them in Crystal Reports, etc... I have even tried a software package that promised to convert cgm files to jpg or bmp or something I could use for the report only to no avail. Has anyone ever printed CGM files from VFP?

The other question, if I embed the active-x control on an OOP report writer for VFP would I be able to dynamically change the properties on the ocx? Would it even print? Any ideas from anybody greatly appereciated!

Thanks,
Ken
