FP to Reform

[Kevin Harris]

I thought I'd catch everybody up on this issue. Apparently 
Reform has a problem remembering custom paper sizes or 
anything other than 'Letter' in XP. All they could do for me 
was take a support ticket so that they could look into it.

I wasn't willing to wait for them to get around to fixing 
their program, so I downloaded an evaluation copy of Bob's 
Print Wizard product. I have to say I'm very impressed. I 
had a couple of bobbles trying to understand some 
assumptions and called Bob up. He was willing to take my 
call and steer me in the right direction.

Here I am just a couple hours down the road and I have the 
tests functioning like I want. All I have to do is go onsite 
to tweak the code and then implement into FP.

I am impressed with Bob's product and would highly recommend 
it. It is very flexible and has a lot of power features 
built-in.

Thanks Bob.
