Bill,
EXCUSE ME! I do have the source code! So if you are still interested in helping me out I'll be able to make changes as needed.

I have a table that relates reports to forms in my app. The user can build a report in FoxFire, then tie it to a form or forms in the main app. The user can then tap a tool-bar button and select reports tied to the active form. The reports are launched in FoxFire, even filling in run-time query fields. It all integrates very cleanly.
