Dear Rick,
please how to manage Html formatted text in VFP report?
Otherwise, considering the VFP report limitations to show formatted text, there is a way to create reports in Html bypassing VFP report?
Thank you very much

Sorry for the late response.

Not totally sure what you're asking, but if you want to get HTML output from VFP reports, consider one of the add-on products like XFRX, FRX2Any, or FoxyPreviewer. The first 2 are commercial products - Foxy Previewer is free from https://foxypreviewer.codeplex.com/

Dear Stein, thank you very much for support. What I am looking for is the possibility to print Html formatted text through VFP report.
I use wwWebFckEditor to enable text formatting, I store Html text into character fields

Then I need to insert that Html source code into a report, but the report should print the formatted text, not its Html source.
I tried with General fields, but the VFP text control has not the ability to stretch with overflow.
Is it possible? Sincerely

So you want to turn raw HTML into formatted text? Isn't the tool for that called a browser?

Maybe what you want to use is IE automation. Instantiate an IE object, direct your output to it, and use it to handle the print job...

Sorry, but wwWebFckEditor just enables to print Html text.
However I need to print Html formatted text into a Visual FoxPro report.
In other words I have a report with many objects and I would like to add the possibility to print also formatted Html text from the Html source I get from wwWebFckEditor control.
Maybe it is not possible?
Thank you

I'm not sure what you're trying to do but what do you mean by print 'formatted HTML text'? FCK editor is an input control, not a display mechanism.

I am sorry to be not able to explain well.
I try again.
wwWebFckEditor show formatted text (image 1):

and I store source Html into Dbf (image 2):

I have a complex report and I would like to insert a control to to print formatted text (image 1). However if I load source Html from table (image 2) I see source Html in the print and not formatted text (image 1).
Is there any way to print formatted text from source Html in a Visual FoxPro report?
Thank you very much for patience.
