For some reason Acrobat 5 creates actual PDF file in the current directory. For example, if lcPfile = "C:\somedir\mypdf.pdf" and current VFP directory is "C:\temp" the two files'll be cretaed. The first "C:\somedir\mypdf.pdf" with 0 size and actual pdf file "C:\temp\mypdf.pdf". Here's how you can fix it

lcPfile = "C:\somedir\mypdf.pdf" 
lcTempfile = (FORCEEXT(lcPfile, "tmp"))
REPORT FORM myreport TO FILE (lcTemlcPfile) NOCONSOLE
RENAME (JUSTFNAME(lcPfile ) ) TO (lcPfile )
ERASE (lcTempfile)

If you don't want file to be created in the current directory than

lcPfile = "C:\somedir\mypdf.pdf" 
lcSaveDir = FULLPATH("")
SET DEFAULT TO ( JUSTPATH(cPfile))
lcTempfile = (FORCEEXT(lcPfile, "tmp"))
REPORT FORM myreport TO FILE (lcTemlcPfile) NOCONSOLE
ERASE (lcTempfile)
SET DEFAULT TO (lcSaveDir )

>>>I have the following code in a FoxPro 7 Program running under XP. This should produce a file in the fully qualified filename PFNAME. Instead it opens a file in the proper place with the proper name, makes it zero bytes in length and then previews the report to the screen.
