Steve,
They are specifying a number of things like grouping, fonts, etc before report is generated and then would like to edit the "printed" form in various ways.
I'm considering Crystal Rs, do you use it ? All works OK ?
TIA,
Alex.
>>Hi, All !
>>My users want to keep copy of a report for later modifications ( not trough VFP app). Curently my app supports that my generating text file ( instead of using VFP report designer) with embedded codes ( for fonts, etc) ready for WordPerfect macro to produce WP document. I'm trying to use a different approach. Standart VFP :REPORT...ASCCII doesn't seem to work. The question is : does anybody use third-party tools for that ( Crystal, FoxFire, etc) or there exist some workarounds for standart VFP report designer ?
