You could drop my ActiveX control onto your form and name it oReport. If you want it to resize with the form place code in the Resize Event and now you've built a Clone of the VFP Report Preview. Also make sure you create your cursor prior to running the code below or you can have the code in the DE of the Report. There are a lot of variations there. But the code is rather simple. I can also make another method so that you could just pass the object to the method as well. It's VFP we can do anything! <bg>


If you have a button on the form you could put this code in the Click event to run the report:

SET CLASSLIB TO MindsEyeReportEngine
o = CREATEOBJECT('MindsEyeReportEngine')
o.oCanvas = THISFORM.oReport
o.ReportForm(cFRXReportFileName)
o.oCanvas = NULL
o = NULL
RELEASE o

This code should then run the report for you on the current form. Let me know if this doesn't work for you. I wrote this up and tested it and it worked fine.
