Dear Derk,

Right now I am using the Crystal Reports Ver 5.0, The problem you said is because of you are taking it lightly, ofcourse the concept of Object orientation is not in Crystal reports but it's better than the VFP's Report buider and yes about the cursors, instead of that you can pass the View's, it's easy thirdly you were telling about the alignment, yes the alignment thru arrow keys is not possible when you are in the preview mode, but it is ofcourse possible when u are in design mode..

Also the main features are :

1) Drill down options, but yes it doesn't work thru ActiveX from VFP
2) ofcourse sub reports
3) Selection Formullas
4) Parameter selection

and please specify what exactly you need in Crystal reports as such I am trying to surf it because I am working on passing the selection criteria for the filtered records..

Regards
Rajesh
