Use Adobe Postscript Driver to create a postscript file of the report and than use Ghostscript to turn the postscript to pdf.

Mike, thanks for the answer. I will look into your examples in order to determine the foldernumber. What I do find strange is that I know what the name is of the folder (and is location). Can´t I access it on its name? Must I determine its number. What if I have the same name in more folders...

I want to retrieve email that I have in an archive. How can I doe this with VFP. I have seen examples for the Inbox but not for what I would like to achieve. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks, Ron

The best app I have come accross: www.sysinternals.com and download Process Explorer. This free (!) utility will show ALL running processes including the COM-object. You can easily terminate it and have it removed from memory. I do this to make sure everything has unloaded before I do an update...

Kaz, I know I used to do this some time ago. As far as I can remember there is a difference between W95/98 and NT os´s. For W95/98 you should writing the data into a ini-file, not into the registry. I will try to locate routine....

Randy, sorry for the delay...I was enjoying my holidays. It should have said: Printing will need some special attention because the VFP-reportwriter can NOT handle this.....

Randy, make sure you are pasting the data into the RichTextControl. There is an example for this in VFP6 (I have not checked if VFP8 has the same example). You store the data in a normal memo field (rtf=plain ascii+formatting). I do this all the time for Eastern-European languages. I´m starting...

Be aware VFP8 wants needs msxml4(!) to be present. If you only have msxml3 on your machine you will see the "System Cannot Locate the Object, Line 0, Position 0 (null)" over and over again. Both versions can be present on the machine. The objectmodel differs between 3 and 4 and they...

Aiden, there is a distinct difference between TS and Citrix. While CItrix can print to a printer defined on the user's pc, TS can't. We have implemented TS as well and to solve ths I have done the following: - define the printer of the user on the TS - when the user wants to print make sure...

Make sure you do the following: - store the Word document as a RTF-file (not native Word because this could be unicode) - take a close look into the VFP-examples. There is one that desribes how to use the RichText control. You can use this control on a form and write the contents of the field...

There is a difference when testing and running under IIS. When testing everything is running under your user-id and you probably have elevated rights. When running IIS you may be using IUSR_ or IWAN_ as a user, and both have restricted rights. To test: make sure the website runs under admin...

I have created a vfp7 dll application that needs to run from a webpage. When testing I copied all relevant files to a seperate machine without any development environments. I registered the dll as a component service and when using a test executable to create an instance I see that the dll is...

Greg, the quality of the pdf file has nothing to with crystal. Having printed the report to a postscriptformat the resolution of the document is unlimited. Remember: postscript is not bitmap oriented but vector oriented. The problem lies in the way Distiller is configured. You can indicate what...

Mike, the error message mentions a problem with the class-id. The dll and its tlb file is created when building the dll. When trying to register it with the Component Services I select both the dll and tlb file and there is no problem registering it. When I want to use it, however, the problem...

Greg, make sure you have Adobe Acrobat is installed. Not just the Reader but the full package including PdfWriter and Distiller. You can check this when looking at your printer drivers. Make sure Adobe Distiller is present. In VFP you can check this with the following. Type in oAdobe =...

I have created a vfp dll file that has been registered as a com-server. In order to install it on other machines I copy the dll with its tlb file and runtime files to an other machine, register it (with com services) and everything works. The problem I have is the following. Although I tested...

Greg, it´s not that hard. I do the following: - print the report to a postscript file (using the Adobe Universal Postscript Printer Driver) - having done this: fire up Distiller oDistiller = createobject(´distiller.distiller.1´) - parse the postscript file and it resulting pdf-file to the object...

There is a big difference between TS and Citrix Metaframe. If you want to use a printer defined on a user´s pc you should use Citrix Metaframe. In fact, MS suggests this. TS can only use local printers if they are linked to a lpt-port. Nowadays you don´t need to have a printer connected to a...

Scott, I have sent more info about this to your email account. Hope it helps. If you need any more info and/or help let me know.

We also store RichText in memo fields. To print them on a report we use VirtualPrintEngine. Like the name: this is an engine. In other words you have to create classes etc to get things working...but if you have them there is nothing (and I really mean nothing) that will beat its speed...
