Hi Scott.

>Has anybody tried to programatically create reports (.FRXs) on the fly by just creating the .FRX and dumping the right stuff in there.

I've been doing this for years. It's pretty tricky unless you THOROUGHLY understand the FRX structure, different object types, and what goes into each field in FRX for each object type. Fortunately, if you can wait a couple of months, I've got an article in FoxTalk that'll make this very easy. It's a set of report objects. You instantiate the main report object, add bands to it, add objects in those bands, and set properties for those objects. It exposes the entire FRX as an object, so it's very easy to use. It'll be in the June 1999 issue.
