Originally, all reports existed in FPD26 as either .frx reports or as @...say programs, etc. However, this was one of the very few that was added recently to the newest version of our app and was only created as a VFP7 and VFP8 report (.frx). So when it was determined that it would be added to our older dos app as well, I had to backtrack and create the frx or @..say report in FPD26.

>>I do and we regularly still push out updates of our FPD26 apps. However, FPD26 will not read the VFP7 or VFP8 reports. I ended up creating the @...SAY manually anyway. It was a bank draft (3 per page) for sheetfed dot matrix printers. We had already created the draft as reports for VFP7 and VFP8 and laser printers but later on the 'powers that be' decided we would add it to the dos program as well. Initially all new features were only supposed to be in the latest versions of the app to entice the users to upgrade but when they complain, well eventually they get their way... :o)

>>>If you've got FPD 2.6 around why not just rebuild it? The current report generator traces its lineage to FPD 2.0.
