Hi Claudia,

The easiest way that I've found to email a Foxpro Report is to print the report to a PDF format.

I learnt how to do this by reading a great article at http://www.west-wind.com/presentations/pdfwriter/pdfwriter.htm which should get you started.

You don't need to change your existing reports, but you'll need a copy of Adobe Acrobat Writer.

Hope this helps,
Gavin...

There has to be an easier solution! These are established reports in a large application, and each report is provided data from multiple sources.
