Thanks Ed,
I've downloaded ghostscript and I'm going to give that a shot to see how feasible it is as a resolution to my problem. I may try the PDF route too. You always come through!
Thanks again!
Tracy

>>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.

You'll simply install a PostScript printer driver and create EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) output, which is then routed to the Windows GDI by GhostScript.
