Foxfire! 8.0 Build 368 

You should grab the full install if possible (http://www.foxfirereporting.com/livedesign/ff80setup.exe) but an update is available from http://www.foxfirereporting.com/livedesign/ff80368.zip

Updates include:

New option in Preference Misc Tab: Display Description. Lets you turn the "data item description" text box in the Data Item tab.

The Remote DB option now retains your selection.

When modifying User Profiles, you can now add your own notes on each user to provide more details of who the user account is for.

The New Request dialog has been redesigned. You can re-size it to see more of the options if you need to. Please let us know if it makes more sense for you.

Cross-Tabs now work properly. Previous builds didn't let you create them properly.

The Request Manager now has a Property sheet for each request. This property sheet lets you specify the Lock settings under Security for each request, effectively letting you control what other users have access to.

The Filter tab has been updated considerably and appears to be less troublesome. If you are having problems BUILDING or modifying filters, please let us know. Please provide details on how to reproduce what you were doing.

When previewing reports, a thermometer reports its progress so you can see what's happening. You can also cancel the report from generating so you can see the results that were generated before you canceled the report.

The Setup Wizard now has Hot keys to make moving back and forth a little easier. We now automatically default the Display SQL Warnings on when you try to create a SQL Server or non-VFP setup.
