>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?

That, or a compatible product like Amyuni's. They can read them using the free Acrobat Reader.

Correct, if you create HTML, but you'll likely find HTML very restrictive if you intend to embed graphics, and you have much less control of precise rendering with HTML than with Acrobat. If you use Word, you have the option of creating RTF, or Word 6.0 documents which can be handled by Wordpad if Word is not installed. It's probable that you'll need something that they're going to have to pay for at some point in time, and that the more you intend to offer the ability to view with the browser, the less precise control over the final rendering you'll have - obviously, the display on my desktop monitor under Win2K and IE 5.5 is significantly more capable than the browser on my cell phone. At some point in time you'll have to trade off the ability to go platform-independent against platform support.
