>Hello! I have your book "The Visual FoxPro Report Writer: Pushing it to the Limit and Beyond" (I really do own it--and you even autographed it with a purple "sparkle" pen at EssentialFox) and I'm looking for a report manager that will handle Crystal Reports as well as VFP7 reports. I have looked at Paul Mrozowski's (Kirtland Associates) report manager which is great but I'm not a Mere Mortals user. Do you have anything that you'd recommend?

My 9-yr old son gave me the purple sparkle pen just for signing autographs at EFox .. he's very proud of Mom!!

I don't have any production-type code for a Report Manager or know of any that I can recommend. At EFox, I did a presentation about building a Report Manager and touched on the concepts of having it handle reports from multiple sources such as Crystal, FoxFire and whatever else you might have. You can look at the source code and white paper from that session and use it as a starting point .. but it's definately not "production" ready. It's just a simple report manager thrown together for the purposes of presenting the concepts. But it should help you get started if you do decide to write one.
