... I use FWH to send emails with PDF's all the time, as do my clients. As a general "good operating principle", I would always suggest previewing anything before it is sent out, and especially any form of invoice, or statement. It's just being proactive to avoid issues later. The process ...

Could you please post some screenshots ?

What data are you previewing ? How do you generate it ?

but one strange thing--after previewing a report when I close the preview the dialog I was just at is now maximized.

... manage to get my hand on a Win7 64-bit and the problem is still there. I don't understand what's going on but so far these are my findings: i. Previewing a report using \Samples\TestPrn2.prg and TestRtf.prg works ii. PrinterSetup() doesn't call up the windows setup printer dialog box. iii. ...

hua - Thanks for the tip about emf.dll... that appears to be why I didn't get the results I was hoping for.
