Stonefield Reports and
FoxFire! Both have a UI so users can create their own reports. They work because you [the developer] put the work in up front. Just do not expect to deploy anything in one day. There is a learning curve and you will have to define just about everything up front which will take some time.

I see FoxFire! finally came out with a VFP version. I suspect the level of difficulty has increased somewhat. I too agree about the degree of complexity as I have purchased and used both.
