Thanks. I would have thought that "open" and "print" would be all that VFP needs to print an OLE object on a report. If that's not true, then I have to confess that I wouldn't know where to find out what functions it does need. As to finding a suitable server, is there a way to examine one that has been installed to see what methods are available?
