>>Hi All:
>>
>>I have a form that will display fields from a table using VFP's own grid. The user is allowed to select which fields to include/exclude in the grid. Now there is a request to generate a report (tabular layout) of the data displayed in the grid.
>>
>>Can anyone give me some ideas/leads as to how I may accomplish this? I am thinking that hacking the FRX file is the only way but I wanted to see if there are any other suggestions. If not, is there a good source of information re. FRX files and how to manipulate them?
>>
>>TIA

There's article "Demystifying Visual FoxPro Report Files" by John Koziol in August 2000 issue of FoxTalk that explains frx structure.
