>I want to standardize headers and footers on my reports. I am hoping I can make FRX's with the headers and footers and make the body of the report (goup , detail and summary bands) in a separate FRX file. Then when I need the report merge the approprate files to make the FRX for the report and run it.

There is a free article at FoxTalkNewsletter.com this month by John Koziol called "Demystifying VFP Report Files" that may help, and also, one by Doug Hennig called "Report Objects, Finally!" that has some classes you could put to good use on this.
