I don't think I can convert the DOS frx reports into vfp frx files and run them. The reports contain funtion calls that send control codes directly to the printer. I believe I tried to do this at the start of the project. (I have tried to do this every way that I can imagine. You should see the code that converts the DOS frx files to text files.) The control codes go directly to the printer while the report itself goes thru the spooler and the two never matchup. If only we could get banks, finance companies and state agencies to design forms in a logical! Unfortunately that will never happen. I know there is a solution but my heart grows weary of the search.
