Gary,
I have been out of the office for a few days but have seen the thread on your printing to a file. Have you tried using the LAUNCH command on the file you create? Create the the RTF file then use the LAUNCH command to bring up the file in WORD. It should edit just fine. I have not used it on WORD but have used this feature with EXCEL and it worked fine. Look in the HELP section for the proper parameters on the LAUNCH command.

It sounds crazy. The report works great in 4.5 bit in 7.6 the data arrives incomplete, some data omitted and some data out of order. I think I will have to revert back to 4.5. Keeping two data bases up todate is a little cumbersome. Thanks for your suggestion.

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.
