Hi, what and how would be the easiest way to display records in a pre-formatted preview window in vfp6.0? before with 2.6, i redirect the formatted report to a text file, viewing the result through 'modi comm (text output file)' and terminating the preview report throught the ESC button. With 6.0, i've heard of so many ways to implement it, i dont know now what to use as my standard program procedure? I'm thinking of using a 'Microsoft Word Document Viewer'. will this simplify my class creation and maintenance? Thank you very much and more power! Long live Foxpro!

Hi Yong,

I thing a good way is not exporting the records in a browse-window. You can
setup the browse window exactly how you want it by using the additional
clauses of the BROWSE command.

HTH,

Hi Yong:

Along with a Browse window, consider using a grid. In many ways this
control is even more flexible than a Browse window.

I hope this helps.

Once the data is related properly, the simplest way to do it is "REPORT FORMAT _myreport.frx NO CONSOLE PREVIEW". From the Print Preview window, the user can scan the report pages, print the report, and leave the report.
