Hi Richard,
you may want to test with the 32Bit version of VFPA ("A" as the hex representation of "10") There are some Reportwriter-related problems fixed: http://baiyujia.com/vfpdocuments/default.asp
See http://baiyujia.com/vfpadvanced/f_vfpa_about.asp for infos and download (you want to download the "VFP extended 32 bit" version)
For installation you need a valid VFP9 version installed, which the installer then copies to a new VFPA directory and patches the EXE and DLLs to the VFPA level. You need to do a "Recompile All" with your project, and then copy the runtime file (now only one!) plus your new exe to your customers directory. That's it.
