Alex,

The Report Engine/Preview Control can do the 1st item like being placed onto a form and used to do reports. I've been writing the VFP VCX Class Library to make the control easier to use in VFP. However, for speed purposes I have rewritten most of my VFP Engine in Delphi inside the control. The ActiveX component was originally written only to be a container to host VFP Reports since I couldn't get PAINT MESSAGES in VFP. However, it ended up being much more than that because it can be used in VB, Delphi, C++, etc. However, there are several VFP Specific Properties and Methods that I added and continue to add to the control so that we in the VFP Community could finally have a decent Report Preview. I've also added other features to it to handle a lot of those PITA things like Watermarks, etc so they could be done very easily.

I haven't finished the work on my Report Designer and won't get back to it until I complete all of the current needs for the Report Engine/Preview Control. But the Report Designer is just a more flexible designer than our current native VFP Designer.
