What about R&R? One of our clients is getting a shrink-wrap order management system that happens to be written in VFP, and the add-on report module uses R&R. I used Foxfire back in the 2.5/2.6 days with good results, and I've been using Crystal in my recent projects, but I never used R&R.

>>Now that the dust has settled and tempers may have cooled, how are you feeling about FoxFire? is the charging for new releases a usual thing with them? I'm considering purchasing FoxFire! and am just reading about it here and other places.

>I still use it, but my complaint was the way they define and have handled their releases. I had issues with 6.00 that really needed to be addressed and were not. They have now released a MAJOR version update that went from 6.0 to 6.02. To me that is a minor update. There are a ton of new features that are terrific and they are charging for this update.

>They advertised version 6.0 as a VFP 6 [or 7?] version yet almost all their UI were remnants of FPW2.6. The UI in that version when run under VFP 6/7 looks bad. I paid dearly for a VFP version and got a wizard converted version which really sucks. The 6.02 version, from what I have read, has its UI [and code] fully in VFP now. My gripe is this should have been part of the free upgrade to 6.01 or 6.02 along with the bug fixes I reported to them, and the major upgrade version should have been something like 6.1 or 6.2.
