Were you expecting something as full featured as Crystal Reports? I sure wasn't. Crystal has introduced improvements in every version (now up to 10). I think it is unrealistic to expect VFP to go that far in one update and I don't think the VFP Team will ever get there. IMO, the team should put their efforts elsewhere rather than try to copy Crystal functionality that few need. How many reports need graphs, subreports, complex crosstabs, or data cubes? My guess is 5-10%. That means that the new enhancements solve 90-95% of the reporting needs.
