Well,:
- Crystal Reports has very good exporting options
- You can create very complex multi detail band reports (by using subreports)
- A more powerfull preview window including a 25 - 400% zoom.
- You have more control over printersettings.
- more flexible
Of course there are disadvantages:
- It only connect trough ODBC or FP 2.x tables.
- Using the CDX indexes seems not be reliable.
- You need to code your own interface for handling the reports.
Walter,
