Hello,

Thank you for your answer to my previous questions.
Thank you for pointing out the FOX2X-function but the only nasty thing from converting, using COPY TO..FOX2X, is that it takes more time to convert my real database (because it's really big (28000 records) and involves a lot of tables) than it takes to run through ODBC.

I've given up speeding up Crystal and VFoxPro 'cause it just takes more time to get the job done right.

I thought of another approach to get the Crystal Report done:
I've made an executable of my Crystal Report. To do that, I had to setup the ODBC administrator.

Now I let VFoxPro call the program using RUN /N ...report.exe. Isn't there a new command for running other applications within VFP?

But if I install it to another computer, I need to setup the odbc-administrator again. I know Crystal can distribute the obdc-drivers and files it needs. But there are some things I not yet understand :

How can I let VFoxPro take care of registering the DSN into the odbc-administrator and set the path to the databases/tables I need for the Crystal Report.

Can you please help me.
Thanks.
