Nope, you won't persuade Crystal Decisions to natively support VFP tables. If the format of the table should change, then Crystal would need to do additional work. As Garrett has suggested, you can use OLE DB. You can also save the data to an XML file that CR can read.

Considering MS designation of Crystal as its .Net report writer of choice, I wonder what the chances are that we could have MS persuade Crystal to support native VFP files. It would be nice not to have to copy the data to an fox2x file, or go thru ODBC.
