Thank you Razzak & Jim I have played around with your suggestions. I just recently up graded from Rbase 4.5 to Rbase 7.6. Big Leap. I was happy with 4.5 but Bill Gates doesn't like dos so I was glad that I could update to 7.6, however. I used to be able to print a report to a file and open it up in Word and edit it. With Rbase 7.6 it is a nightmare. I just don't think it should be so complicated. Is there anyone that does this. Why does the report store in a pdf file. This seems to be the default. If I have it print as an rtf file it is difficult yo edit and a text file is editable but very time consuming. Thanks Gary Weitzel

Did you use the FILENAME parameter with the PIPE?

See Help under the PRINT command for the syntax. See the example at the bottom of the page.

When I send my report to a file it turns out as a pdf file and cannot be opened using Word or Word Perfect.
