>I'm sorry I didn't get back with you when you posted this on the Promatrix
support forum. I have been using R&R for several years. The lastest
version (version 8) has an OCX control you just place on your form, set
properteies, and run. It works very well on a stand-alone application with
not a whole lot of records. As others have mentioned, it does not use
Rushmore. It does, however, have a data dictionary that you can provide
descriptive field names.

>On a network with large tables, R&R is very slow. I replaced a report that
runs from a single record report from the parent table with a native VFP
report and there is no comparison. The native VFP report ran exptremely
fast compared to the same R&R report. It is almost as though R&R uses a
filter to query the data.

>I have ordered the other Wall Data product called Arppegio. It is the SQL
version of R&R. They say it has the same report designer as the xbase
version of R&R.
>
>I have also just purchased FoxFire because I need the capability in a
different application for the user to create their own reports and mailing
labels. You cannot do this with R&R (unless the user purchased their own
copy of R&R). One of the only things I don't like about FoxFire compared to
R&R is that R&R's runtime can be distributed royality free where FoxFire
charges licensing fees. I wish FoxFire could be distributed royality free
like a majority of all the other developer tools out there.
