Hi John, >From what I remember of the PrintReport external, it offered a collection of commands to draw graphics, images and text onto printer paper. If you need such pin-point control over every aspect of the output of your report, you'll feel right at home with Quartam PDF Library. On the other hand, if you're looking for a report building system modeled after the ones found in FoxPro or Access, then Quartam Reports is just what the doctor ordered. Both libraries are meant for reporting, but from a different angle: Quartam Reports takes care of evaluating expressions, tracking statistical data and tossing everything on paper within bands and data groups - but you have little control over the printout; Quartam PDF Library gives you complete control over what goes where, but doesn't help you calculate anything - so just like when you're reporting to Html, Rtf or Text files, you'll have to track everything yourself.
