Al,

Did you mean File #9231226 Paul Vlad Tatavu PRG from FRX? It's for DOS, though I take a look anyway. Others too sophisticated for me :)

>>As some of us can see from several recent threads, I was struggling with VFP Report Writer recently trying to produce ASCII file from quite complicated report. Well, this battle won Report Writer and I'm defeated... But, not completely. I found my work around this problem. Basically, the problem is:
>>if you have multiple entries in any of the band (detail, footer, group footer, etc.), the ASCII file would insert additional blank lines, truncate words, do other "bad" things and there is nothing you can do about it regardless of different _asciirows, _asciicols settings (or at least I could not find this magic combination). The answer is: either redesign your Report again, say, in DOS FPD (VFP can run it, I was told) or use another Report Writer (I don't know, does Crystall support ASCII clause properly) or do it programmatically (the way I finally choose). Therefore this is a program, which would convert your report into prg file. Well, you still then need to work a little on this program manually, but the most work is already done.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
