>>In addition, adding a strong third-party report generator tool like FoxFire! or SFReports may be worth investigating; both offer a more enduser oriented report design tool both to create new reports and to modify existing reports.

>I concur. The interface for the VFP report generator is more geared to the developer. My own experience seems to bear this out. My user have access to the reporting facility, but very few use it. More often than not, I'm the one that ends up making any modifications.
I have had exactly the same experience. I put a button on the report form but within 2 weeks of release and after they try it none of them ever use it again. As a result I stopped putting the button on the form.
It is impossible to make programs idiot proof. Idiots are too cleaver.
