That sounds like a text-mode report.

You may want to try my class for handling text reports: Download #9991. Be forewarned: You can't use your existing reports; you will have to rewrite, putting appropriate code in methods like .Select(), .Header(), .PageHeader(), .Detail(), etc.

Preview is either in the default program for .TXT files, or in the default program for .HTM files.
