I'm not sure who owns it. I don't have it sitting here in front of me at the moment. Maybe someone else can supply that answer?

>>>VFP is quite better now with Office automation (EXCEL, WORD, etc.) Is it fair enough to say that it is much better to concentrate on harnessing it rather than considering 3rd party Report Wizards. We just wanted to address the clamor of our clients regarding Report Customization which is now becoming a necessity because not all the reports integrated with our system meets their needs especifically when it comes to report formats.
