[..] I created a vfp report-generator app that can be incorporated into a larger app. [..] I've always heard of the need for a fox report writer without the third-party hassles. Does something like this already exist? Would anyone ever have a need for it? I can't help but think: "if it were a good idea, someone else would've done it already".
Well, the trouble is, the good ones *are* third party applications. I wouldn't know anything about "hassles" involved in using them. You mean buying licenses?
