Is anyone aware of any add-on apps that can be included in distributed apps
compiled with the compact compiler that will allow users of a product to
dynamically build and save their own reports and/or queries. I realize that
this can't be done with Fox's current implementation of SQL; but a slick
programmer could write code to do it with SET FILTER/SET RELATION statements.

I have been on M/S's case for a long time (and FOX's before they were bought
by M/S) to provide this feature.

FOXFIRE is a FoxPro report writer written in FoxPro. I haven't used
it myself, but they will send a demo.

FoxFire! is compiled into an APP and can be shipped to your users. Your own
app can just call it.
