>>We are in the process of transitioning workstations to Windows 2000 (including a few NT). For the most part, my VFP 5.0 app works just fine on the new machines. But one outstanding problem is that the preview mode of a report generated by an FRX/FRT report comes up too small on the screen.

>>Under Win 95/98 the top of the report page fills the screen. You scroll down to see the rest of the page. At 800x600 resolution this gives a nice clear report which is easily readable without printing.
>>
>>In Win NT and 2000 the report image is shrunken (even at 100%) to about 70% of the screen width. In other words there is a white page with large black margins around it. At 800x600 the image is really too small to read and I'm getting complaints from the users with the latest machines.

>>Any one solved this one?

Thanks to all that replied. I gave David the three stars because in addition to citing the article, he reminded me to check the runtimes. I thought I had applied the latest upgrades to my development machine but perhaps I have old runtimes around.
