in Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
. Build reports, with many tips and tricks to help you take full
advantage of VFP's full-featured Report Designer.
. Provide opportunities for your end-users to customize reports, using
the Report Designer - royalty-free. Make this process safe and convenient,
with VFP 9.0's new report protection features.
. Use pre-built VFP CursorAdapter and DataEnvironment objects and a
specialized VFPReports framework, the source code for this book, to deliver
full reporting applications to your customers. Simply add your data sources
and the reports you've designed, plus an XML configuration file.
Database developers who have never used Visual FoxPro can use this book to
learn how to use VFP as a low-cost and full-featured reporting tool for
their data sources. VFP developers can read this book to take a fresh look
at reporting strategies that make use of features new in VFP 9, with a
comprehensive strategy for using external data with reports.
