Currently i am taking .frx's and turning them into .docs and attaching them
to emails and sending.

i also am populating a word document with information and attaching it to
emails and sending.

i am having issues with word software versions in the field, viewing
problems from users etc... is there something that i can use that will be
more of a standard for each user?? Please note, some forms or .docs are
filled out and sent beck to the sender. i have tried pdf's but they dont seem
to let you fill out a form and forward it back without creating a new email.

any thoughts?

Hi Tom:

If fonts and formatting are not important, could you just send the document
as a text (TXT) file?

Have you considered creating an ASP or ASPX page that writes data to a VFP
table using the OLE DP Provider? You could then send the link for the page
to the person, and they could enter or correct any data as needed. This
would work if the form as standardized for each recipient.

I hope this helps.

"Tom",

You can 'print' your frx to excel file which is easier to manipulate in VFP
using :-

- Amyuni Doc converter (print driver,www.amyuni.com), or
- frx2any (VFP lib, www.frx2any.com)

My personal evaluation conclude that Amyuni is better in WYSIWYG output.

Hoe
