Hi... ____We often have to produce very complicated reports that we can^t do entirely in R&R... we^ll write a Foxpro program to produce a reporting file, then use R&R against that file. My question is: is there any way to have R&R automatically run that Foxpro program prior to generating the report? Right now we train our users to run the program prior to generating the report... but it sure would be nice if we could have R&R run the pre-process program automatically.____Thanks,______Steph

What if you do a simple batch file to call the foxpro app and then run that R&R report? You could add a program item for the user to call the batch.__R&R does not have direct mechanism to call other apps.____Kathleen__R&R Support
