Do you have any examples you could send me. I will take a look at it. All I really want to do is create a report in rtf format, and save that as a file and then attach it to an email or provide faxing capabilites. I thkught I would go with RTF because most EMAIL software seems to work with it, I'm still trying to figure out the easiest way to embedd the report into an email so when the user opens the email there is the report with nothing additional required to view or print the email. The contents of the report is either a quote or inovice.
If you think I'm steering down the wrong path, let me know. I'm still getting use to the GUI world.

Thanks for your help and comments.

Scott

>I tried using MS-Word to print RTF from VFP but that didn't work either. If you want to do serious RTF-reporting than you should seriously consider VPE from www.idealsoftware.com. It's the only engine I know to be able to deal with streaming RTF (meaning adding more than one RTF string to others and still have them printing correctly). I use this engine for my applications and I need to support multiple languages to the extreme (over 30 including Polish, Czech, Chinese etc).
