>Is there anyway to save a report generated with "REPORT FROM reportname" for later viewing? In the old DOS world, we could just do REPORT FORM blah TO FILE blah.txt NOCONSOLE. Then we could just display the text file later for viewing. In Visual FoxPro, you can use REPORT FORM blah TO FILE blah.txt ASCII NOCONSOLE, but let's be serious here. Has *ANYONE* gotten good results from this? If you use proportional fonts, the text file has labels overlapping (truncated), the page breaks are all wacky...

I think the consistent way is to save report cursor into dbf file, and later on you just:
use (locfile(...))
report form blah preview
