Reports are key to a successful software application. It doesn't matter how efficiently the users enter data, how much information the system can store, or how many complicated calculations the system can process if there's no way to see the final outcome. In this reference, software developers are shown how to use every nook and cranny of report writers. Included are fundamentals of using the VFP Report Writer correctly such as starting the report wizard, invoking the report designer, and report bands. Advanced tips are provided as well, including nesting data groups and creating variables and calculations.
