>>>Is there any way to preview reports outside of the main VFP window? My application runs outside of the main window (main window is not visible) -- however, if I try to preview a report without setting _screen.visible=.t., the report goes off into the misty void. I'd appreciate any suggestions! -- Sue Piro

>Thanks -- we did that as a workaround, but were hoping to find a more elegant (?) way to handle it. It seems like a serious VFP limitation to always have to use the main VFP window to do previews (especially since you're not limited to the main VFP window for other aspects of your app).

I agree. If there is a better solution I can't find it. I have been looking for a solution for months now with no luck. I you come up with anything I sure would appreciate it if you would pass it along. Thanks
