Tore,

>...In reality you can not compare VFP9 and MERE, MERE is reporting for steroids. <bg>

Rich is also working on VFP9 integration and getting some excellent performance numbers in initial testing. I'm using MERE on a project right now for PDF generation by an MTDLL COM object (doable since his engine is Delphi OCX and doesn't use the REPORT FORM command). Rich's helpfulness and responsiveness to our needs (as documented by others here previously) is a big plus. Of course, that's what we expect in the Fox community, isn't it?

I don't know the details on combining reports as far as MERE is concerned, or any of the other alternative reporting systems like XFRX and eReports, but they all have many cool features, so I wouldn't be surprised if they could handle it.
