I am uable to generate a DDR on a multi table solution. I have tried de-selecting other tablees as well as most options (eg file references). The FM application hangs. Could this indicate a corrupted layout or script??? I have also tried running it with clones - same result. It seems to run with xml but what application do yuo use to make sense of it ?[color:red]

Interesting! It's my understanding that regardless of whether you want HTML or XML as the end product, FM outputs the data as XML first. Have you tried to generate a DDR in HTML with any other solutions?

Vince Menanno of FM::Nexus is soon to release Inspector. It's an impressive FM developer utility that takes the XML of a DDR and looks for potential problems, prepares reports, etc.
