Hi there Alan,
Thanks for the reply, and the extensive feedback. Actually, Stephen
touched based with me about it, we chatted on the phone. It was good
getting to catch up with him - as it was a while since last I spoke to
him. He did let me know that the full blown version of PowerApps, if you
have the 365 license, lets you connect to almost any kind of data
source, including things like MS SQL. Too bad that reporting is an
afterthought, considering how VFP kicks butt at it! I will indeed have
to check out that Tutorial link you sent me.
Thanks again,
Kurt

I've had a play with PowerApps - ti was PowerApps For Teams which is (or was)
more limited than full-fat PowerApps. For example at the time you could only
use Sharepoint Lists as your data backend but I understand now there is a
'Dataverse For Teams' also. For serious LOB applications for end users you or
your customer would need the full PowerApps on your Office 365 subscription. As
ever with these low-code tools, it's great until you start hitting edge cases
but I was quite impressed.
Of course business application style reporting and printing is a distinct
afterthought as it seems to be with every tool that isn't Visual FoxPro ;)
Take a look at April Dunnam's excellent Youtube tutorials.
