That's not true. I can do everything in VFP that can be done in VB. The CRPE is not the a good integration method, no matter what language you use. The RDC provides complete control over every aspect of the report.

>Yes, Crystal Reports is geared more for the C and Visual Basic programmer, especially if you want to use a very fine level of control over the report. What I did was write two classes, one in VFP and the other in VB. The VFP class is form-based and gathers application data and print job specifications, and puts the data into a set of FoxPro 2.x tables. The VB class (if you can call it that) responds to calls from methods in the VFP report class, taking care of any data conversions that are required.
