Wow! I've reviewed your documentation for this, and it really has some neat functionalility.

I particularly like the idea of scanning over a cursor, and placing output to the report engine. It gives me a sense of the way html pages are created on the back end.

I have some reports where I like to create details bands from separate cursors and I've always had to fight VFP to do this.

I hope I can find time to play with this.


Let me ask a question about the LW() function...


.LW()

Write string in current line at specified position left to right.

It is actual wrapper for DrawString() method, but because vertical position is already predefined it is
enough to pass only one parameter for offset toward right. It emulates '?? ... cExpression at... '

Parameters: nAt , cString [, cFontname, nNontsize, nFnStyleNo , nFrgb , nRotate ]



Is it possible that the engine can keep track of the resulting last horizontal position from the previously generated control? This way, we would not have to specify a nAt position for each control.. it would just resume the flow at the next available position on the current line?

This would provide more of a "fluid" layout, rather than me having to hand-code every nAt position on a line. For this to work and keep text/numbers to appear in nicely spaced columns, it may need a width value so that things would not move around on the line.

Well, let me play with it before I start requesting enhancement, right?

>New version features Live Report Preview Surface , enabling drill-downs (linking FRX reports) Hyperlinks etc. Just set few properties in FRX textbox user info and RS Preview will call your own form's method and parse parameters you specify to the method on that form that you specify. Very easy and flexible. Also easy hyperlinks; again you set up few properties on FRX textbox and RS Preview will later redirect to the link you specified. There are many other improvements, but these are major highlights of the new version.
