    Thanks for this Lee. I tried it and it still hangs when the "ASCII"
    in not included in the command. I was trying to get the 'pretty'
    report that I get on the printer, hoping it would be included in the
    FILE document so I can email it where needed. I presume that is not
    possible in VFP7. Any more advice. TIA. PetC
