>>Hi,
>>
>>My app has many (100+) reports. There are all in the main menu Reports -> Reports Group A, Reports Group B, and so one. Under each Group there is a list or reports. Users are lost or do not know where to look for this or that report.
>>Plus, the users - mostly - use one to 5 reports on the regular basis.
>>I would like to allow them to add certain reports to a short menu list (let's call it Custom Reports). The way I envision it, a user would grab a report and drop it on the Custom Reports. Or, if necessary, delete a report from the Custom Reports list. All of the previous should be done at run time, by a user.
>>
>>Is it possible? If yes, how?
>>
>>TIA

>But hey, we have VFP! And tables! So why do you not store your reports (frx, name, entry point to data generation, groups and a priority) to a table like any other table, allow to user to alter certain fields, add, delete and let the user sort and filter and finally select the report from the table? Edit: From a grid.
