I HIGHLY recommend R&R Reportwriter by Concentric Data. I've only used their
dBase version, but I believe a version is also available for FoxPro. It is a
very powerful report generator and menu driven, so it is easy to use. It is
FAR superior to dBase's own reportwriter - at least the one provided with
dBase III+. dBase IV  incorporated many of its capabilities in its
reportwriter.
