| one solution is to print to a file and then open a form with the reportfile
datasourced to an editor control
depends on the size of your report as to just how long this would take
works fine for reports of just a few pages
I am sure there are other more elegant solutions but this is a quick down
and dirty method

Yes - I actually did a crazy thing and tried to write a report writer
for my users. It actually works to a degree. Anyway I just write the
output to text file and display it in a editor. Here's a link to the
report writer I made - don't laugh.

| Nothing to laugh about.
What are the text file limitations ?
Are you just opening an editor box for viewing ?

Exactly - using an editor box to display the text file. I don't see
why you could not put a very large file in a text file, but I don't
really know the limits of what the editor box can display.
