Hi Sytze: I don't use VFP reports, so I'm not the best to answer this, but I've read that if you include the capacity for your clients to modify and personalize the reports, then yes, you need to include those files.
If you search in the VFP help for "reportbuilder" (search tab), you can see this: Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP2 *How to: Specify and Distribute ReportBuilder.App* When you write and distribute Visual FoxPro applications, you may choose to give your users the ability to customize some or all of your application's report layouts. The report builder and report protection features in Visual FoxPro 9.0 makes this a safer and controlled solution for your application. In this topic, you will learn how to redistribute the default Report Builder application in two ways: - Distribute the Report Builder as a separate file alongside your own application, and ensure that Visual FoxPro is directed to the location of the reportbuilder.app file at run time. - Build the Report Builder source files directly into your own application. ....and continues with the rest of the chapter. The same applies for the ReportPreview.app Best regards! 2015-06-18 22:48 GMT+02:00 Sytze de Boer <[email protected]>: > Hi Tracy > > I recently posted a query on another forum and received zero attention > I hope you can shed some light on this > > My question was > > 1 Should one distribute reportbuilder.app to all one's clients? > 2 If yes, should one include the reportoutput.app as well > 3 If yes, what about ReportPreview.app > 4 Perhaps it should only be done if you actually log into the clients pc > and modify a report? > 5 I use Foxypreviewer at all client sites.
