>>>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).

>>I think it was CR10 that I used as well. I was able to get a VFP screen setup where the users could create their own reports too that used the CR activex's. Not supported anymore and it was a huge pain to get all working properly. It was really cool once it was done tough. Probably better alternatives nowdays though. I think the only reason I was able to pull it off is because the app I did it to was using free tables that were not part of a DBC.

Dragan, I sent you a PM yesterday...
