>Personally, I'd like to see object based reports. However, it occurs to me that the reason we may not have seen them may be that they can't be implemented without greatly increasing the memory footprint for the resultant applications and/or implemented without breaking existing applications.

George:

Can you give me some "thoughts" on what you think consitutes an "object based report" ? You mean like "subclassing" ? (I can't say I've ever heard of a Report Writer that allows subclassing ... unless we're simply talking about events).

I ask because I've been working on a VFP "class/wrapper" for Crystal Reports and would appreciate other people's thoughts on the subject.
