Thanks Dave - I downloaded it this morning (as well as a few other goodies

from that same blog)

Have put it into the project and now the purchase orders are printing to PDF

perfectly, ready to email directly to supplier.

God (or whoever floats your boat) bless the FoxPro community - I am a happy

girl again..!

Tina

P.S. It really made a difference that you put the instructions for use in

your post - thanks extra for that.

Have a look at Luis Guillermo Navas Dangel's PDFx PDF Report Listener

<http://weblogs.foxite.com/luisnavas/default.aspx>. It's free and

super easy:

I just added it to a project of mine and only had to use the following

VFP lines:

Local loRptLsnr As PdfListener of lib\PDFx, lcPDFFile

*

* Do some data stuff here, and populate lcPDFFile with the file name

*

loRptLsnr = NewObject('PdfListener', 'PDFx.vcx')

loRptLsnr.cTargetFileName = lcPDFFile

loRptLsnr.lOpenViewer = .T. && Optional, opens PDF after creation

Report Form reports\toc_page To Printer Prompt Object loRptLsnr

Works for me on XP and VFP 9.
