Philippe, Actually, an ActiveX container's Value is a reference to the one (and only one) ActiveX control that is loaded into the container *at edit-time* (not a reference to the ActiveX container Control on the FP). When you drop an ActiveX container on the FP you get a Terminal on the BD (not

I have been using CutePDF to generate PDF files for a while. It is a free utility and it works pretty well. It installs as a printer, so all you have to do is print to the CutePDF printer. It will prompt you for a file name to store the PDF file in. To find it, search the internet for CutePDF.
