>>I usually do not use the report designer in VFP, however I need to modify a report that was creating using it. There are a couple of functions that are defined in the report itself. How do I find where those are defined and how do I edit them?

>AFAIK, there is no way to define a function within the report itself. The can be invoked from the report, but the function itself must be: in a separate PRG file MyFunction.prg; as one of many procedures within a library function, defined with FUNCTION MYFUNCTION or PROCEDURE MYFUNCTION; or in the database stored procedures.

Never done it myself but can you not have functions in the format part of a report expression? i.e. X2-click on a report field, then click on the Format button to get into the expression builder. Maybe functions in there?
