Hi Stephen

Have look at www.report-sculptor.com

You can do this kind of complex reports in pure fox.

One of the samples there shows simillar report
(Multipage Tax Form) which is done as native foxpro page frame.
You can have user fill it up and print it in WYSIWYG mode.   

Unlike CR , RS cost just $ 0.00  

RS have it's forum  

Cheers :)
Sergio

Crystal is very good at what it does.  Making it happen is the problem.

Making a change to a table that you have to bring in a replacement one is my
biggest reason to get pissy with Crystal.

Having dated systems like I do for Tax Reporting for International Paper,
Crystal just drives me up the wall!  But it is what they want, and it is
something that I know.

They keep the data by tax year in views from the Oracle system.  They make a
copy of every report for the new Tax year to keep everything separate with
respect to tax law changes.

Switching the new view for the old one is not pleasant.  Now do that to
maybe 75+ - reports.

But it does pay off bills.
