John,

That would be great! I'm all impatience :)

BTW, if you have an Acrobat reader, you can create a PDF file from your report. At least my manager showed me this once (I never tried it, because I haven't Acrobat installed on my comp).

>> I have a tricky question which I hope someone can help me with. I have a VFP6.0 Application that is used to capture customer survey information and I want to be able to produce a report of the questions asked and the nominated answers. The problem is that the report has to be able to be eMailed as an attachment. As the Foxpro report writer doesn't seem to be very good at outputing to a text file ( I need more than just ASCII text ), I decided to use the Access report Writer. All seem to work fine until I realised that I'd have to export the data from Foxpro and import it into Access. What I'd like to be able to do from my Foxpro Application is for the user to press a button on the surveys screen and all the nominated data be extracted and for Access to load up with the surveys report ready to print from the appropriate record source into an RTF file. Has anyone done this before? Is it possible?

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
