Hi Matt,
>I am trying to move a legacy build FoxPro for Windows app to VFP6. This is an enterprise app that handles receiving, inventory management, workorders for p/u, delivery, and services, storage, and interfaces with Peachtree accounting for A/R. As a newbie to VFP, I will probably be asking this forum for advice quite often.

>I would like to know if Report Designer can be used to create work orders (as a one to many report) that will pull info from the currently open form that is being used to create the workorder and print only that workorder. Currently printing is handled by a .*prg where we are formatting the printing by line commands.You can use Select command to pull data for the current Work Order into a cursor and use it to print report.
>Not all workorders are single page. The header and footer need to print only at the beginning and end of the print job with the work details in between.You can use Report Header/Summary for that.
>I began to visually format the report, and that is not a problem, but it just seemed that I might not be able to control this the way I need to.You cannot know w/o trying. If it doesn't work you can always come back here and ask for help. :)
If it still doesn't work for you there're a few files in the download section that allow to print report "old" way directly to the printer w/o report writer.
