Hi Erik!

I am sorry to be pest. You mentioned that creating a PDF file would be the way to go. So, I thought I would give that a try. We have Adobe Acrobat 5.0. I took the postscript file from the REPORT FORM...TO FILE and called the acrobat distiller using the following:

acrodist /N /Q report.txt

This created the file report.log with the following:

%%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: ) ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

The PDF file was not created. I am under the impression that you have done this before. Did you use Adobe Acrobat or some other package? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your time!
Tim
