>But for now, the report writer in Fox is actually quite powerful and robust. IMO there is a lot that it does well and there are third party tools available for the gaps (Crystal Reports, FoxFire!, and Bullseye, for example), that I think other things (like MTS? ADO?) have a higher priority.

I agree completely, in fact, I've never had a need to go to any third party "gap filler". (I used R&R at one job because it was mandated by the boss, but I complained loudly that it was silly, they weren't doing anything with it which couldn't be done easily in Fox Report Writer (this was 2.5 DOS), and would be better because it would be Rushmorized.)
