There is a mistake in my book --- The band height is 2083.333 in VFP reports. It seems to be (20 * 10000 / 96).

FWIW, there are a handful of mistakes in my book that are pointed out in a document you can download from the Hentzenwerke sight. I also added some new tips in the same document.

>So the first issue is getting the VFP designer band heights right. Can anyone help? I know the value includes the band separator which has a height of 1979.1666 (19 * 10000 / 96) and that all bands in designer have it except the first one. Do you know the formula? I guessed 1979.1666 + Lines in DosReportBand * pixels height of form font * 104.1666 (10000 / 96), but it doesn't jibe with a form converted by VFP. To make things easier, all fonts are 7pt Courier New in this report.
