>It is possible / advisible to generate report without using the report generator. If it is possible, would anyone be kind enough to show me a simple report source code. Thank you in advance.

Here is the simple method I use, when I don't know the structure of the table in advance (I expect it to be no more than 5 fields):

local lcReportName, lcSafety, lnRecno, lcOrder
lcReportName='Reports\TableMaint'
lcSafety=set('safety')
set safety off
select TableMstr
lnRecno=recno()
*lcOrder=order()
create report (m.lcReportName) from alias() column 
if OpenTble(forceext(m.lcReportName,'FRX'),"WorkReport",'exclusive')
   wait window nowait "Preparing a report..."
   select WorkReport
   replace tag with '', tag2 with ''
   delete for objtype=26
   pack
   use in WorkReport
endif   
*modi report (m.lcReportName)
select TableMstr
dodefault()
goto m.lnRecno
if m.lcSafety='ON'
     set safety on
endif
