John,

>Walter its been a while. Many thanks for your reply. I got a temp report working with your suggestion, but I am getting an error from Crystal saying the data is busy, I found a way around it with this :
>do while .t.
> if THISFORM.Olecontrol1.isbusy = .F.
> exit
> endif
> =inkey(.1)
>enddo
>Have you used the Viewer much and would you recommend if I should pursue using it instead of the Crystal.crystalreport. Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, I did only some research on it. I did manage to get most things working but I never developed a commercial app with the RDC approach. Sorry to say so, but to my knowledge you're the first one who tries to get it to work for a whole application in the FOX community. (too others: If i'm wrong here, free feel to to say so).

I remember that there are some good articles on the seagate site which help you a great deal to get this RDC automation server to work. Also browsing trough the developers help RDC automation section would not hurt either. There are various examples (mostly VB) that somehow can be translated to VFP.

Walter,
