>Has anyone ever ouput a VFP report directly to a PowerPoint Slide? If so could I get some help or direction on the most efficient way to handle this?

Steven:

AFAIK you cannot convert an FRX to PPT format. What you can do is send the data you calculate for an FRX to a set of PowerPoint slides (a PPT presentation file) using automation. You can see examples of this in Tamar and Della's book "Office Automation with VFP".

One problem you will have with a report is length. How many records? How many pages? Do you use one report page per slide? Those are questions that have to be decided, and handled by program code (logic).

For the look and feel, I guess you could export the FRX to an image (maybe using PDF) then insert it as an image into a PPT.
