>I'm developing a program that merges some database information with raw text files, such as invoices and statements that are intended to printed on pre-printed forms. In this case I might have 1000 invoices that were dumped into a file instead of a printer loaded with pre-printed forms. Then I'll add the fixed information such as lines, shading, logo's, etc. Based on the information stream I will need to select different "fixed data". I could do it in FoxPro, but once I've customized the form, I want my users to be able to change it themselves. So I want a basic form designer that is easy to use, but has advanced features like "if" statements and memory variables. Currently I'm interfacing with a dos product PageGarden by Dan Bricklin written in the 80's, which works great, but it looks like hell when I call it from VFP and does not allow my users to print to windows defined printers.

I don't know if it's still on the market, but we used WordPerfect's InForms to do what you're talking about for a while; the form filler can be set up to read a Fox 2.x-style .DBF for input. We also tried FormWorx (we really liked it, but the original version wouldn't run under Win9x or NT, and at the time InForms cost about half of what FormWorx for the 32 bit environment cost.)

If it's still on the market, Corel would probably be the vendor at this point.
