Thanks Olaf, [thumbsup2] I decided to make a report as you suggested, probably will height of Header band be involved into calculation of each vertical position, I'll check later with printer. In meantime I made a form that list all objects "of type 8" into form's listbox with their main...

Yes, I planned to use scanned paper form as temporary template, just to align all fields that will be printed, and second before printing I would cut this template (picture) and only fields would be printed on paper form, right on precise positions (V & H)... but it's not allowed to print...

It's me, again, I gave up from using Word & Mailing merge & Excel as one of possible solution for precise printing; I used Textboxes from Word (with mailmerge fields inside), due to their abilities to be positioned anywhere on page, but measuring object's position on upper part of page and in...

Hi Mike, I think I'll spend today afternoon to measure all fields and note all dimensions as you described in lest post of this thread. It seems promising, and in same time I'll push my "simply" solution for those who doesn't like installation anything on their computers, except recent Office...

Dear friends, in meantime I tried to solve described problem. Shortly, it's a small app for printing form with student's grades. I scanned form and put in the CorelDraw, just to check are all fields aligned properly, and is there vertical difference among them. Sadly, I saw that not all grade...

OK Olaf, I'll give a try to your solution. Thank you again. There is no good nor evil, just decisions and consequences.

Hi Olaf, thank you for your fast response. Maybe I wasn't unclear with my question. I need printing on special brochure that's already printed and looks like some kind of money check, just with more places where I need to put proper field data (name, lastname, amount...) but they aren't in same...

Hi there, I have already forms printed in press-room (instead blank, plain paper) which I need to print out with data field on correct certain position (height from top, left, different font). Size of printed form is classic A4 (297x210 mm). I tried to solve it inside VFP 9 report but it was...

Yes Mike, that's something what I planned to use in my app. Thank you for your kind advice and suggestions. There is no good nor evil, just decisions and consequences.

Dear colleagues, thanks you for your valuable inputs. Even hardly I must agree with some of you that wanted grid is "weird" a little in daily VFP application, but I made already huge Excel table with macro support and numerous columns with rotated caption (headers). As I don't have ability to...

Thanks Olaf, I thought based on article about multiple label in header I saw years ago in the book about "1001 tricks with VFP" that it's possible to put label into column header and rotate. Shame, it's not possible, I would like it is possible like in Excel I saw... :( Thanks anyway Olaf. :)...

Greetings Sirs, I use VFP9 and need a grid with many columns (mostly are single number) but in headers I need custom caption based on rotated label in order to keep columns width equal to 25. I think I saw somewhere how to put textbox into some column but I can't remember I saw that someone had...

We had small LAN with only 3 PC, all of them (still) run under Win XP Pro. On most equipped PC (most powerful) is an app we wrote with an app with VFP. Rest of two PC are just "slave" PC that connect to the "main" PC thru shared folder on "main" PC, with shortcut of type...

Olaf, Vhad... thank you for your valuable inputs. I presume that some "line of equal" shall exist but in many articles I have read that for non-English language UTF-8 coding information in database is the best way to avoid later any trouble. So I did it. I'll try to make stuff according to your...

Hi Vince, thanks you stopped by, I tried later but no improvements. I tried to add option charset=utf-8 in connection string but then VFP crashed itself and I gave up. I think to make some custom function for two ways search 'nd replacement but looks like huge job without any promises. Funny...
