It's particularly easy to use with ODBC - SQL-Server or Oracle databases. It takes the fields out of SQL-Server as easily as the old version did from VFP tables. The only change you have to make when designing reports is to remember to use "LIKE" and the "%" sign to show you've only given the first characters of a field. That's standard SQL-Server SELECT syntax, but I still forget sometimes.

Before the client has even looked at it, he's not sure whether he wants to keep FoxFire or would rather have Crystal Reports installed instead. Someone told him that Crystal was better so now he doesn't even want to look at FoxFire. I've never used or seen Crystal in action so I can't give a fair comparison.
