There is not really a good way to do it with VFP.

To email the report as an attachement you can use adobe acrobat (~$300) to print the report to a PDF file. PDF files require the user to have adobe acrobat reader which is free but a heafty download. You can also use hotsend (free) from www.hotsend.com to print the report to a hotsend file which can be either a stand alone exe file the doesn't not require the user to have any special software to view and print the file or it will also print to a .hot file which requires the user to have the hotsend viewer.

As far as printing a report to an email message the only way to do this is to print to a text file. The problem with printing to a text file however is you will lose any formatting in your report like lines,boxes,special fonts,ect...

VFP's report writer really sucks when it comes to things like this. You might check out crystal reports if you are willing to rewrite all your existing reports.

>What's the best way to take a VFP Report and turn it into an e-mail message so that the reader can see it? Sometimes we may want to e-mail the report as an attachment at other times we may want to e-mail the report inside an e-mail message, not as an attachment. But we don't want to keep the report in VFP format necessarily. Since it is most likely going to be read-only at the receiver's end.
