John K.,

Thanks for the info. I will be checking out both your FRX2Word class and the Acrobat avenue. But my question is this, and I may be asking this prematurely without having looked at either option yet, will I be able to integrate sending my VFP report to Adobe within my application? Or will my user have to own the Adobe product to create the PDF files?

If I go with using your class, Word 97 or 2000 is required for CREATING the HTML document only, not for viewing, correct?

Ultimately I want my client to be able to email a report that is viewable by anyone who has a browser, AND maintain as much format as possible.

Thanks
Elgin


>My FRX2Word class here on the UT might help. It converts reports to either DOC, HTML, or RTF formats and, with a few expections, retains all formatting. If it's a simple list of child records, it should be able to handle it no sweat. Word 97 or Word 2000 is required, though.

>John's idea also has merit. Acrobat PDFWriter and Distiller are pretty simple to use and PDF documents are a standard for distributed documents. You can purchase these tools as part of Acrobat 4.0 from Adobe for about $300 or so.

>>I have a form used to retrieve, view, and in the future, edit Records by CUSTID. They child records are selected by what's known as the UPSINO. I want to add functionality to the form that will enable my user to email all, selected, or currently viewed child records for the selected CUSTID. However I want to output the data in a pre-defined report format and convert it to HTML so the client can view the record(s) in his browser.
