There's a problem, though, the lack of precise documentation from a VFP developer point of view. There are lots of examples here and there, but nobody has yet come with a full how to.

The problem with using word is that all the reports would have to be created programmatically. This would allow for no end user customization. Also, we have over 200 reports in our ap, so hand coding them is not feasable, with a report writer we can have QA and support people held us write the reports.

IF I am missing something let me know. And, thanks for the suggestion.
