We consider one-loop scalar and tensor integrals with an arbitrary number o
f external legs relevant for multi-parton processes in massless theories. W
e present a procedure to reduce N-point scalar functions with generic 4-dim
ensional external momenta to box integrals in (4-2 epsilon) dimensions. We
derive a formula valid for arbitrary N and give an explicit expression for
N = 6.
Further a tensor reduction method for N-point tensor integrals is presented
. We prove that generically higher dimensional integrals contribute only to
order epsilon for N greater than or equal to 5. The tensor reduction can b
e solved iteratively such that any tensor integral is expressible in terms
of scalar integrals. Explicit formulas are given up to N = 6. (C) 2000 Else
