>>>Anyone aware of any 3rd party controls to allow the generation of a report in a runtime module? I'd like to give my users the ability to select a view, fields from the view and the sequence and be able to create a report. Ideally - they could specify subtotal breaks.

>>>Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated... I'd hate to have to write my own!

>>Hi Swen!

>>I can not offer you exactly what you want. However, you may want to check out Visual GenRepoX. You can download it for free from www.eps-software.com. The product allows to specify a number of fields the user may want to choose to print (among other features).
>>
>>Also, MS postet a sample I created that shows how to create reports on the fly. You can get if from the owners-area at the VFP-web site (www.microsoft.com/vfoxpro).
>>
>>If all of this doesn't help, I might still be able to help out with a product codenamed KARDO. I use it in a couple of my own projects. Basically, what KARDO does is it has a report definition object. You can add fields to that object, and so forth. Then, you send that object to a creation engine. There are (or will be) various engines. One (that I'm using now) creates the FRX, another one DOCs, yet another one HTML, and so forth.
>>However, that product will still go through quite some redesign before we make it available to the public. However, we are thinking about showing this to a handful of people in the near future. Also, this product won't be for free.
