Dennis,

I spent a couple of months researching this, and my findings weren't too encouraging. Eventually, I ended up "rolling my own" using HTML, and with a few caveats, it works extremely well. The biggest caveat is the severe limitations of Internet Explorer and both handling large quantities of HTML (say 50 pages or more), and in correctly translating CSS settings (yes they are WC3 standards, and yes IE does not follow them).

The way around it is to use Word to import your HTML, then use Automation to print. You need to do some slight-of-hand, but once you have it working, it works pretty well. Word does a better job of "obeying" certain CSS settings.

I did investigate Crystal, but was warned against it for many reasons, including the size of my reports (up to tens of thousands of pages). The people warning me are very well respected in the VFP world, so I heeded their warning. I think Crystal would have been great if my reports weren't so industrial strength.

Good luck.

David
