>>I just thought I would throw out my $.02 worth. I see other development programs such as Clarion, for example, that have real nice report writer / label wizards that can be distributed with the application. VFP and VFP third party tools seem to be lacking in this area. It would be nice if VFP would allow us to distribute their report and label wizards with our applications. I have had a heck of a time finding a report writer/label maker (wizard) for end users for a VFP application. I even checked the active-x market without any luck. I just figure there has got to be something out there that is easy to use for end-users to create custom reports and labels. If someone develops a nice report & label wizard with a condition builder and data dictionary, I would be the first in line to take a look.

The only caveat, IMHO is having to use ODBC to get to Fox data, but this will be the case with any report writer not written in Fox (Foxfire is).

Thanks Eric - The one that I saw here was dated anyway.
