My guess is you're trying to use the OKI base fonts and if that's the case no there's no. I've run into this problem when working with "cross-windows" :) networks and the best I could do was to design the report with foxpro 2.6 (DOS) and run it from VFP, of course that would imply that you have Foxpro for DOS. There's also a class in the download section that would allow you to make text reports that print directly to the printer.

HTH,

I'm a mixture of Albert Einstein and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The only trouble is that I got Einstein's body and Schwarzenegger's brain
