Reports & Report designer
Hiya Bob!
The VFP report is a single page layout used to format a set of records. You may have better luck using a multiple page word document, and either a mail-merge or programmatically search+replace via word automation. I think Word has much more layout power than VFP's report writer.
>I've got an incredibly complicated report that someone designed several years ago. It replicates a government form and has to have the exact same layout. The form now has to be changed. Doing this manually in the form designer will be a terrible task, and I'm planning on hacking it programatically. I've reverse engineered it into a DBF which will allow me to manipulate that to bulk move groups of fields, and recreate the form.
