>I know what you mean about writing reports. Its not my favorite pasttime. Licensing for FF does appear to be different than SFQ. But there's a lot of details, versions, and options to wade through. Plus, i'm usually dealing with users who have trouble deciding whether to single or doubleclick, leftclick or rightclick.

The "mobility license is a complete second license (for $100 more) for use by the same developer on a second PC such as a notebook or home computer. Runtimes may be distributed to end users. Designer or administrator licenses can be purchased for users who need those capabilities.

>Are you a FF user? What are you paying for a "separate license for each customer"?

I used it 10-15 years ago for two custom programs. As others have said, it's a good add-on but when one of the clients found I could create new reports for them pretty quickly, the phone never stopped ringing. I got tired of that, so I don't use it anymore. Like I said, it is billable time so if the client doesn't mind paying for the work and you don't mind continuously creating new reports, it at least insures a monthly pay check.
