>>other apps such as PrintShop Pro offer some additional verbs. I's start by deciding what functionality you need and find a server that offers the desired methods.<

>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?

You can find the OLE server entry in the registry, and find the shell verbs defined for them by examining the registry subhive for the server in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT; the same thing is available using the File TYpes tab of the Folder Options page of Windows Explorer.
