Custom Reports: The Pathways Database Publisher does not require publishers to purchase Microsoft's
FoxPro for Windows. However, if publishers choose to create their own custom reports, they may do
so by purchasing FoxPro and using the report writer that is included with the software. Once written,
these custom reports can be added to the Pathways system, allowing publishers to run them directly from
the data maintenance system.
