>Hi all. I would like to know if somebody have an example about implementing search capabilities in Reports (at runtime) and maybe open new windows by double clic on certain lines of report? is this possible ?

While I don't know much about the new capabilities in VFP 9 reports, traditionally the interaction with the user was done through forms (which may be read-only). Perhaps this is still the most appropriate approach. Forms provide you with lots of controls for interaction. For example, you can have a grid that shows lines of data, and a button to show details for a selected row. Or, you could have a treeview (TreeView ActiveX control or some replacement) that allows you to open and close branches of data, as when you open and close directories (folders) in Windows Explorer.
