Hi Craig and Al,

You have asked good questions. I believe Stonefield is mostly a report generating tool, focused on creating the query etc.

My question is aimed at refreshing the look and feel of the many reports we already generate. Allowing the user to tweak the presentation of the report: showing or hiding data columns, varying the order and width of columns, exporting to Excel, PDF, as well as memorizing the look.

I specified a .NET class because, sadly, more development is going on in that platform today and I want to widen the range of options. I have found some COM kits, and I'm certainly not against those. I am definitely looking for some pizzaz besides the performace, though.

First, is there a .NET class that I can purchase that mimics the behavior of the Peachtree report interface and second, how do you go about interfacing an VFP application to such a .NET class. I believe the second part can be done, so I am just sort of asking for confirmation at this time. More important for now is to find the .NET class that can do the job.
