Ok, I've had to rule out html for the reasons you already stated. While it works, my reports are too advanced for that. Do you know of any examples using postscript for this from within VFP? I checked out your link, but I cannot find a working example from within VFP of taking a report sent to a file and printing it out to a GDI printer. I need the condensed codes etc somehow to take effect. While I could specify condensed printing (somewhat) in html, I could not control the vertical line spacing and the pages rendered different everytime.

>>>HTML is a nightmare for this - the page rendering is all relative and resolved at print time, and will vary according to the perceived resolution and page definition of the printer - there's no such thing as page sizing, tray selection, ad nauseum. PostScript or Adobe PDF is far more universal and consistent.
