>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!

Is the report "complicated" in that it has a lot of graphical elements that must be precisely positioned? If so I think you might have trouble with FPDOS. You might not be able to rely on a minimum printer standard like PCL4 or 5, which would make it even more challenging.
