ReFlex, REport FLEXibility Toolset, will be an add-on to a future release of RPM. Among numerous improvements and additions to the basic functionality provided by RPM, ReFlex adds a bunch of tools to the fray along with serious printing options. Just take a look at the list below and we think you will agree... with both statements!
Printing flexibility in ReFlex . . .
All report printing with RPM will be handled by the ReFlex print engine.
This print engine replaces the standard "flush preview" found in Clarion reports and also replaces the printing currently handled internally by RPM. This is a 32-bit print engine for Win98 through XP.
The addition of the ReFlex print engine extends current functionality by providing print support for the current Clarion report WMF meta files as well as support for EMF, Enhanced Meta Files. With this ability RPM/ReFlex can support other report generation tools such as List & Label.

Print EMF meta files such as those exported from List & Label
Print layered meta files for overlay and underlay support
