with implementation of report listener - how close are we to having VFP reports that we can drill down from?
 
I'm still learning about the report listener but I don't think it gives us drill down. To be able to drill down (like Crystal) we'd need a preview window which could responded to a mouse click on a particular record and field. Does the listener give us that?

You could do your own drill down...but it has nothing to do with a ReportListener. The preview window is now written in Fox with an ActiveX control for the actual preview. It will respond to mouse clicks. There is a Solution Sample that shows how to create your own preview window. You can also look at the source code for Reportpreview.app.
