How does it handle things like shaded boxes and vertical lines that need to cover over multiple detail and group bands? What about things like the features of the native report writer? Is "Print when" simply setting the Visible property? What about data that spans multiple pages and repeating page/group headers?
UPDATE: Maybe even a more important question, can it take an FRX and convert it to the SCX? Now, that would be worth paying for.
