Seems we are the only two. All others are merely delighted with all phantastic new features...

>I too wonder why the zoom level is fixed. It would be so much better to do like almost every other application is doing : have a list of predefined zoom level but let the user to enter any number they want.

>>Personally I'm not at all satisfied about the new Report Zoom functionality. The ZoomLevel property and SetZoomLevel() method allow only the numbers 1-9, each representing an absolute percentage from 10-500 percent, or 10, a 'fit to window' setting.
>>
>>In Word, the possibilities are much much better, a 10-500 percent, with 1 percent increases. Moreover, Word has ctrl+scrollwheel support built in. Are we supposed to manually program such a these-days-basic feature??
>>
>>Reporting facilities should be the second best feature in a dbms like vfp (dbms being the best feature).
>>
>>I propose that the vfp-team rethinks the Report Zoom feature in this beta phase!

If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
Let's develop superb standards that will end the holy wars.
"There are three types of people: Alphas and Betas", said the beta decisively.
