Tevye,

Sounds like VREP is a commendable product. Have you used it with VFP version 9?

You are enhancing what others have said about VPM's data dictionary and security model. This is Great! And, you like the look and feel right out of the box. Wonderful!

Thanks for you valuable input. I certainly appreciate that.

>I use both VPM and VREP. I use VREP both with VPM but I also use it to create reports for other systems. I find the features go way beyond both what FoxFire or Stonefield Query can do. It is very easy in VREP to create complex SQL statements so I sometimes use it just to build the SQL and then past this into my program. The report builder has a lot of features that the others do not have.

What I like is that it generates a full blown fondation for the app that includes a flexible data dictionary and security framework including field level security. I have never had to modify the look so I cannot speack to that.
