@Koen would running the reports under vfp9 make it any more unicode friendly?

Paul I am not going to try to solve your VFP8 conversion to VFP9 problem, although I am convinced it can and should be solved. To stay on VFP8 and still make use of Foxypreviewr which only runs under VFP9SP2 I have once seen the following successfully: Built a project under VFP9SP2 with Foxypreviewer Create a report using your data and print it with FP Test Compile to an exe In your VFP 8 pjx call this exe when you want to print. It works No problem. Good luck Regards Koen PS FoxyPreviewer has an export facility to print to HTML

Koen, honestly why I am using vfp8 is a long (frustrating) story. The
short
story is that I wrote a huge development environment with its own
compiler,
I won't bore you with the details :) suffice to say that I am not kidding when I say it is huge. It runs fine under vfp8, but under vfp9 something changed internally with the string handling. One of the features of the environment is that the compiler turns html with embedded vfp into classes. Under vfp9 this
process
runs incredibly slow. Under vfp8 an installation (which is when the compiling happens) takes about 20 minutes, under vfp9 it took 6 hours. I have spent a lot of time trying to sort it out. I have played with the memory settings and with the coverage trying to track it down and in the end, I hate to say it but it beat me.

Paul, upgrade to VFP9SP2 and make use of FoxyPreviewer. FoxyPreviewer has different export/saving options, amongst HTML Easy to use. Why do you stick to VFP8 anyway? Regards, Koen

Is anyone aware of a utility that will take a vfp8 report .frx / .frt
and
convert it into some form of html template? To clarify, I am not
looking
to
run a vfp report and have it output in html.
We need to take a number of fairly simple reports and permanently
move
them
to html. I expect to have to do some editing to clean them up.
The application currently outputs pdfs from frx and they are
presented
on
the web. However, to better support i18n the database is moving to Postgres, and the code to JS, that leaves a problem with the reports.
Thanks.
