Hi Gary
Since our last communication,
I got VS 2005 Express loaded on my pc and got 2 books on C# & VB.net from Murach.
Also contacted the people at StrataFrame with a couple of questions. They responded well.

Question on reporting.
Am real happy with the "Report Form" command in VFP in that I've a wrapper form that I move from system to system with virtually no changes. A DBF contains the report names and descriptions which shows in a list box on the form.
Do the standard .Net reporting controls allow the developer to build reports similiar (in concept) to the vfp report generator?
All help appreciated.
Bill
