ok, i got a bit closer to the root of the problem.

by testing between vfp reports and fox2.6 reports it seems that the .ps file is created incorrectly with a fox2.6 report. it looks like there is information needed to create those files which is not in the fox2.6 report.

is there any way i can modify the parameters to the .ps file creation in order to work with fox2.6 reports, or do i have to create a 2 report (vfp report version) for this?

any ideas anybody?
