John,
Thanks for the West Wind info. That's opened up a whole new avenue for me. I'll be spending some time looking at the Web Connection package and evaluating my options.
Thanks
Elgin
>>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.

>John's class outputs html, so you will not need anything other than a browser to view. The pdf route requires the user to have the Adobe reader, which is free from Adobe. Creating the pdf requires you to have a copy of Adobe Acrobat. I use Rick Strahl's wwipstuff and web connection which has classes built-in for rendering the reports to pdf files.
