Printing RTF data in Fox Report Writer

[Scott24x7]

Back some time ago (2002, under VFP7), I had tried to do a report with some RTF data, only to find that unless I could "fix" the field size, it did not really work with the VFP report writer. I've been out of development for the past couple of years, and just picked up VFP9 a couple weeks ago. Before I go off on a futile exercies with implimenting these lovely RTF controls again, only to find I cant use them, I figured I would ask the question... has VFP 9's report writer over-haul included better support of RTF fields?
And, if not, has anyone got a cleaver license-free solution to this problem, or am I going to have to spend tedious hours writing my reports in code to get the look that I want from the RTF data?


Best Regards,

Geoff,
I think you misunderstand me... I don't want to produce my reports in RTF... I have RTF data that I want to produce in a VFP report... If I have RTF data in a memo field, it displays lovely in my RTF controls in my forms. But if I want to print it, in the same way I would print plane text in a Memo field in an expandable field on a Fox report, in previous versions, it simply prints the RTF data as text characters, which doesn't really work... (ie is ugly, and I lose all my formatting...)
So, trying to accomplish something slightly different here...


Best Regards,
Scott
