When using the .exe runtime, is there a way to programatically determine the tables that have been used for a given report? Is there a way to programatically determine the Master table for a report?____Thanks!____Jeff Barefoot

The only way to access that information would be via the runtime DLL.____Kathleen__R&R Support

How would you rate the complexity of implementing the .dll schema, compared to the .exe?____I really need to have this functionality, but need to weigh the programming effort involved in implementing it. The alternative would be requiring users to "register" the tables that they use when they add a new report.

If you are familiar with a programming language, you should be able to manage the R&R DLL calls without too much difficulty.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Thanks Kathleen,____Would there be any problems with keeping our existing .exe runtime functionality as our base reporting engine, and calling functions from the .dll library to retrieve specific pieces of info that we need to "fine tune" the process?____Also, do you have any code examples for using the .dll functionality from within Visual FoxPro?____Thanks a lot for all of your help.____Jeff

You could certainly use the DLL calls to supplement what you are currently doing.____I don^t have any Visual Fox examples but maybe another user might be able to share some with you.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Thanks for all of your help Kathleen. You^ve saved me a lot of headaches.____Jeff
