>Graphics on reports must be a hard case. I have posted several messages on this subject with no response. Don't tell me that I have came to a dead-end road using the powerful VFP. I need to print a report with a graphic on it. I have an activeX viewer to view an HPGL file. I then want to append this file to a general field and print it on a report.

Exactly what are you trying, and what is not working?
My knowledge of OLE/ActiveX is very limited, but I believe the control must support a Print method, not just a View method, in order to print from a General field in a VFP report.
There is the issue that some ActiveX controls don't play well with VFP.
Another approach might be to convert the HPGL file to something that VFP can handle "natively", like .BMP or .JPG. There are various utilities/.DLLs out there such as LeadTools that might be up to this task.
Finally, bear in mind that this is a volunteer service... complaints about lack of response aren't exactly warranted.
