>I like to give my users quick lists of information. I also allow them to customize what fields are displayed in the list. Listboxes work great for this, but I need a good way of printing this information. Since I don't know ahead of time what fields or what order they have chosen to display the information, it is difficult to create a report to print the data. If I just print each line of data, the columns would be all over the place (no, I don't want to use a fixed width font). Any ideas on how to print this data, preferably using the report writer? Has anyone done something similar to this?

I did exactly this in DOS and I assume it could be done in VFP. After the user selects the columns I built the frx file from scratch. I had a blank frx with just the most simple stuff and then added records to it for each column, header ect. It's a lot of work to write the prg to create the frx but it does allow the user to create just about anything.
