Hi Rich :-))

This sounds realy great!

What would be great feature is, if you would provide sort of
multipage creation interface (library) that could be used
from within VFP code and then folowed by preview/print.

In other words yr product should hv two dimensions;
one like ready made stuff,visual interface, wizards etc
and then LIBRARY of calls for use via code.

It would be prety exciting having possibility to write reports
via (meta)code like this.
=CreateReportFile(...\myreport)
=AddPage(1)
=GoPage(1)
=DrawPictureAt(x,y,'\\myPicture.bmp')
=WriteTextAt(x,y,'I like it already','Arial','Bold',12,,,)
=HorisontalLine(x,y,y,z,nTick)
=DrawBox(i,j,k,l,nTick)
=AddPage(2)
=GoPage(2) etc etc
and then (I am getting nasty here)
=GoPage(1) (back)
=WriteTextAt(x,y,'I like it even more ...','Arial','Bold',18,,,)
....
=PreviewPrint()
=SaveAs(\\savedReport.???)
WOW! This would be something :-))

As a matter of fact I developed my own reporting engine class (in code)
which I am using in order to convert my code/FRX based reports into excel
via excel automation (class of course). All this what I was mention before is doable in Excel via OLE Automation.

If I had means of creating printable page(s) programaticaly by writing to previewable/printable medium (file I guess)
that would be realy PERFECT.

I would be certainly among your first customers :-))
Looking fwd seeing your utility in action.
