Works like a charm with CR10. SPs and views are interchangeable with
'real' tables.

Also works like a charm. Did not test this with the Delphi-7-component
so far, but... it even works with my dusty Visual dBase 7 from 1998
via OLE-Automation, so it should not be a problem for more modern tools.

I am not constantly reading here. If you have questions, visit
news.dBase.com/reports or /3rdparty or drop a message to "knappstein"
@ "beta" - "eigenheim" . "de"
(remove all " and spaces)
