Are you tempting me and trying to add more to my plate than I already have? <bg>

This week I have been making great strides in FRX Rendering improvements along with some new cool things. You can now INSERT a VFP FRX Report into the Report Engine. Someone asked if it would be possible and after about 6 to 8 hours of work it is now possible.

The situation was that he wanted to insert a TABLE OF CONTENTS into the Report Engine AFTER he had concatenated several VFP Reports into the Report Engine. Since my Report Engine Object is a Collection. It has both an ADD and an INSERT method and so, it really didn't take too long to implement the ability to INSERT pages into the report engine. I had to make several mods to the VCX and add a new method called INSERTREPORTINTOOBJECT() which is just like the APPENDREPORTTOOBJECT() but it places the new report at the beginning. I'm going to have to do some more work to allow you to place it anywhere into the Report Engine. However, this will actually make doing some SUBREPORTS even easier in the future.

This also led to a lot of other ideas for adding in Bookmark support into my own Report Engine so you would be able to jump from FRX Report to FRX Report that was rendered into the engine. A lot of nice future possibilities exist with some of these new ideas. The ideas just keep on coming! <bg>

I also made changes to the NEWPAGE() and NEWPAGEBYPAPERSIZE() Methods of the OCX which now supports a new Optional Parameter called nPageNumber. This allows you to INSERT a new page into the Report Engine at anytime and Anywhere within the Report Engine. This was the easiest change to make the implementation for the INSERT REPORT feature and make it flexible for NON-VFP or NON-FRX users.

I hope to post an update with these new features to the website sometime today or tomorrow.
