Thank you James Moore for mentioning L & L. We did not know about it.

We downloaded the 30 day trial version and had it running with almost no effort at all. We were able to integrate it with our software with the included VFP sample code. We did almost no original work at all. It works directly with the VFP files.

We believe the user interface is much simpler for end-users (non-programmers) than Crystal or other reporters we have tried. The price is a little more than we wanted to pay, but there are no royalties for distributing the designer, etc. So far, this is the best deal we have seen.

The distribution is not complicated at all.

I may also look into the .NET components of L&L and see how well it will integrate into .NET applications. I was especially interested in this report writer because it was one of the few that would allow you to distribute the designer royalty free.
