>(1) Can you call functions and return values while the reports are running like in Fox?

No, but there is less need to. In FOX you might need functions to calculate something wich connot be done within the report. In CR you more control over calculations.

>(2) Does Fox have any advantages over Crystal besides the table incompatibility?

Ehhhh.... You don't need to install a bunch of DLL's to make it work and it is cheaper.

Oh, yeah anotherone: The VFP reports can be changed at runtime without owning VFP. With CR, this is impossible.

>(3) Are you using Crystal exclusively?

Well I try to do all of it in CR, but there might be some rare cases (the user has to modify the report itself) where I'm forced to use the VFP report writer.
