Not sure of within, certainly in a way - you can have CR's preview window instantiated in VFP, but that relies on COM and I'm not sure (being five years retired now) whether that's still supported. On my last project they used, IIRC, CR10.

The other issue was how to pass the data to the report. CR supported dbfs to a point, and that point is two points: 1) fox2x only, 2) no codepages. The workaround for that was to export whatever cursors were needed into tab delimited or some such, in UTF-8, using strconv() twice (first current codepage to unicode, then unicode to UTF).
