>I've encountered problems trying to create reports with a fixed-pitch font as native VFP5 reports. Typically columns don't align properly and I get unpredictable numbers of blank lines between vertical labels and/or fields. For these reasons I'd rather continue to maintain these reports in FPDOS, and simply run them under VFP5.

The key if this is a requirement is to use a monospaced font and develop using the Generic/Text Only driver when designing the report. It'sot enough to have the driver in place, it's important that you limit your capabilities when designing the report to those that will be available when the generic driver si the limiting factor in what can be used well.
