>>>The best way (and I did it many times) is to say your client that Preview Window is standard non-changeable MS product. Also you could try one thing (I remember I did it when tested 3.0 beta): that's right that menu is not available, because Preview window is modal, but main toolbar (if let say you have formset) is still available! So you can try to do something here (again I don't recommend this because you can crash VFP many times before getting something good).

>>ok.. I could use a MAIN TOOLBAR and have a button on called
>>SAVE REPORT TO A FILE. Could I use the _screen.activeform and save the report (in text)? if so, how do I do that? thanks...rob

>As far as I know, just a toolbar (not a form!) would be available in this situation. Again, I tried this option, but eventually prefered not to do this, because of system unstability.

How about some ideas on writing my own PREWVIEW?
