Hello Francois,

I'm pretty the RTF specification is available on MSDN.

Cheers,

Andrew

>>As RTF is just text, I'd recommend generating it with VFP as text. I have a feeling Lisa Slater-Nicholls or Colin Nicholls made an FRXtoRTF converter about 5 years ago. If you can't find that, think about writing your own class. Especially if you're doing stuff that's consistently formatted, generating tables as RTF text should be fairly straight forward.

If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
