Greetings! I’d like to extend my thanks to Eric for always being here to help. I read your email, and I can sense your determination to push forward—something that resonates deeply, as many of us are also VFP programmers in our 40s, grappling with the challenges of learning new tools and technologies. I remember feeling similarly lost, like being caught in a “rabbit hole” (think The Matrix, 1999).

In terms of reporting for the web, I wanted to share a bit of my own experience. As we all know, the VFP reporting engine offers unmatched precision with its ability to position objects down to the millimeter. Out of all available tools, only Crystal Reports can truly match that level of accuracy.

Could you tell me a bit more about your web environment setup? Are you working with a Windows + XAMPP + PHP + MySQL stack, or is it a Windows + + MSSQL Server setup? Understanding your stack could help us troubleshoot better together. Just know, you’re not alone in this (as they say at SETI.org).

One approach I’ve used is to design reports in VFP, save them as HTML, and then integrate that HTML into my PHP setup. By replacing tags with field names, I’ve found it works seamlessly.

Looking forward to hearing more about your setup and seeing how we can work through this together.
