>>No I haven't looked at that. Two questions, 1) where would I find it? 2) Does it generate VFP code or does it simply add 'stuff' to the .FRX?

Marcus Egger's home page was
www.eps-software.com, as I recall.
It came up in the banner above, they're a UT sponser. If you
haunt these hallowed halls long enough, I'm sure it'll come up.
>2. Neither actaully, it is a .prg that you add to your project and you wrap the call to run the form around it. ( =genrepox("report form blah") ) The methodology is to use *: statements in the comment section of the objects which the program reads as it creats a NEW .frx based on your report. Pretty cool stuff!

It just didn't allow me the control that I needed and it made some of the
other fields in that section come out in an unpredictable manner. It didn't
make the report un-readable or anything, but it wasn't what I wanted.
I MAY have to take what I can get (dang...)
