>>Does anyone know how to zoom a previewed a report in visual foxpro 5.0 greater then 100%? Some of my clients like to see reports in preview mode before printing them but sometimes the are difficult to read even at 100% (especially those reports which try to squeeze a lot of information per page). Are there any other tools or tricks available to preveiw reports in foxpro? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
>>Thank you.

Thanks GeneS but I already knew about that microsoft recommendation. I still think there must be some way of previewing the original report with a higher zoom factor. Does anyone know of a third party control which previews VFP 5.0 reports? Is there a way to send a message to the VFP reports preview window such as the sendmessage API function. What about the report data environnement object? Can that be subclassed to give more control over the preview window such as setting the zoom factor and enableing and disableing preview toolbar buttons. Even programming tips on writing a better report previewer would be nice. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
