Mark, No, your pre made forms are just loaded with a n OLE control "cube" that the user can manipulate/filter at will using simple cursor drag/drop.
Personally I nest the cubes in a pageframe on separate tabs which allows easy selection and they are completely "invisible" as being part of VFP. Cubes can be saved, exported etc etc so all I do is simply extract the complete set of data and then fire it into a cube (pre defined or user generated) and then they can play around to their hearts content.

As I said in the reply to Ed (although in slightly different context), this sounds like it takes me away from my pre-made forms, does it? I don't s'pose that's necessarily a problem. However, my user base is *extremely*, errrr, "naive", so it has to be really simple to use. Mark Stanton One small step for mankind...
