I use List & Label by Combit which it works great. It's not free but the runtime is royalty free. https://www.combit.net/en/reporting-tool/report-generator-list-label-highlights/ A demo is available. It is *extremely* powerful. Fox is supported too (amongst others). Reporting is probably one of the most powerful parts of our app. We have built in system reports and user created reports. Usage is pretty easy. You create an instance of the report engine and assign the datasource. The datasource is pretty flexible. I use a mixture of: - ADO.NET DataSets - Generic lists of custom classes - L&L specific interface where you supply tables, fields, relationships between tables etc. You can create variables, callback functions etc. The report can be exported to various formats (Word, Excel, PDF, HTML etc). I even use L&L for creating emails by exporting to HTML. All the usual grouping, sorting etc is available. Let me know if you need help. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CADwx0++ae0k8xEQ9EnZJn32kUGCK7RQ2c8-GCL=n5ysqt_b...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
