Hi Tracy,
As an aside, I was checking out your company website and the buttons at the top are hard to read when rolled over. Almost looks like they are disabled, but they're not.
>No. Not an option. We have 80 clients that still have older machines that cannot run VFP8 and are still running our older FPD26 application. They also are still on dialup and we don't want to download the runtimes for VFP8 to those systems. It is the remaining small offices that have not upgraded their systems yet to run our newer app. Due to state insurance regulations they have to run this new form by a deadline. The form was already created for our VFP8 app and I was hoping to avoid having to do it from scratch in DOS. It is very time consuming and a complicated layout. Looks like I will have to do it from scratch anyway. I suspected as such but one always hopes!

>>>Ok, I know this is probably not possible, but is there anyway to convert a VFP report to either an FPD26 report or a prg using @...say? The goal is to use a report that was recently created in VFP8 in an older FPD26 app (without creating a vfp report engine that would be called from FPD26 and would receive the tablename, index, and report to run from FPD26). We cannot run VFP on some systems yet but it turns out they need a very complicated report created in VFP for legal reasons.
