How can i zoom a report preview over 100 %?

[Guest_imported]

Hello all,

I have a little problem. When i show a report in preview mode i can't maximize the view over the 100 % of the print preview toolbar. This cause me some troubles because the characters of the report are not quite clear even at 100 %.
How can i solve this problem? Please help.

Thank's

Bogdan

Bogdan,
There is nothing natively in VFP you can do. At the hardware level, you can get a larger/better monitor and increase the video resolution. You can try a different video card (and it's ncessarily different driver). Sometimes changing/updating the video and/or printer drivers can help.

One more expensive solution, in both cost and programming time, is to sent the report to a PDF file, and use the Acrobat Reader to do your previews.

Basically you've got to understand that the FoxPro preview command was never meant to allow an alternative to printing, but rather a way to make sure the selected report is giving the type and amount of data you are expecting before it's printed.
