Leland,

It may be the printer driver that is causing the problem. I did make code changes to account for some printer drivers that were returning a YRESOLUTION = 0 rather than 150, 300, 600, etc. So it was making all text appear at the very top of the page and not showing up. However, the first thing to check is to see if the DEMOIT() Method is working properly. It does not run a VFP Report and is only calling the built in Methods of the ActiveX Control to place objects onto the page. My VCX code calls special VFP methods to pump a VFP Report into the control. So try the the DemoIT() method bby instantiating the VCX as you did above and then do the following:

o.DemoIT()

Also, you can email me directly so I don't take this off topic or we can move it under 3rd party tools or something. I also have been very good about making sure that the path is kept where it was when the report was started when I return. I hate that in the Adobe PDF Writer engine that it moves your path for you so nicely to where you saved your PDF document. NOT!! So you won't need to save the Path.
