Tracy, thanks for the nice response.

I guess if I sell several hundred thousand copies of the control like MS has done with VFP, I could send out Rebate Checks. <bg> I really do hate giving prices on stuff. However, I have evaluated several other components on the market that are similar and they have ranged in price from about $350 for the low-end to $1350 for the high end. I always add in too many features I guess which drives the price up. But those features always start out as things I really wish I had. So I add them.

I know that AMYUNI used to produce PDF output is about $800 or so. So I am also trying not to be too underpriced as well because AMYUNI is also not a REPORT PREVIEW engine as well and won't automatically add Watermarks and Rotate Text and fix our Zoom issues in Preview as well as automatically display Page X of Y without doing multiple passes. I've spent a lot of time figure out some of those items. If Microsoft wanted to pay me a nice sum of money then I would integrate my work into VFP for them and we would ALL be happy. I have offered. But I can only dream! <bg>

But thanks again for the feedback. I am trying to get a feel for how to do this pricing stuff!

Did you try the PDF Output?
Also did you turn on the Calendar and Load a Picture just to try it out?
Have you tried it on a VFP Form yet? It is very VFP Friendly for an ActiveX Control as opposed to the DBI controls I use.
