Paul I am not going to try to solve your VFP8 conversion to VFP9 problem, although I am convinced it can and should be solved. To stay on VFP8 and still make use of Foxypreviewr which only runs under VFP9SP2 I have once seen the following successfully: Built a project under VFP9SP2 with Foxypreviewer Create a report using your data and print it with FP Test Compile to an exe In your VFP 8 pjx call this exe when you want to print. It works No problem. Good luck Regards Koen PS FoxyPreviewer has an export facility to print to HTML
