>I am trying to convert reports from FP DOS and cannot find a font that will still allow me to have 132 columns, be readable, and be able to be distributed to 300 clients. Any thoughts?

One option is to keep the old FP DOS report. Use FP DOS for modifications. AFAIK, it runs without problems in FoxPro Windows, or VFP.

Another option is to somehow create a text-file, and print in text-mode (this doesn't work on all printers, though). The download section has at least two downloads to assist you in this task.

You can also create a normal report and "REPORT ... TO FILE ASCII", but that causes too much trouble, IMO (it is difficult to control the number of spaces each field occupies).

HTH, Hilmar.
