If I may ask another question, please (I thought ADDBS was what I was looking for but it is not).

Say the main app is MYMAINAPP.EXE and the reports are in MYREP.EXE. Do you call MYREP.EXE from MYMAINAPP.EXE as "DO MYREP.EXE WITH lParameter"? That is, the code that extracts the report is in MYREP.EXE, right?

But that would require to store many, many .frx files on the application drive. This is not really (I don't think) technically prohibitive but it would "look" better if the report were all in one report "library.".
