>>>Display issues have plagued fox and VFP since its inception. Yes, I know cheap video drivers are part of the problem but come on. What is with VFP 7.0's screen resizing having such a profound glitch? How did this part of VFP 7.0 get out of quality control?

>>>MSFT is trying to cobble together an integrated report writer for SQL Server. It seems to make sense that they would use the VFP report writer as a test bed for reporting on database. Learn from what you are doing and make it better sort of thinking.
