Foxfire! 8.0 Build 355: Nightly Build 

Here's a new nightly build (10:34 EST) with key updates for filters and more
http://www.foxfirereporting.com/livedesign/ff80355.zip
Expression Editor now shows proper English expression when editing an existing Data Item

VFP 9 support for templates. When you modify a layout using VFP 9, it will show the Data Item names instead of the expressions. (this requires the full rebuild)
Added LastRun and LastRuntime to oRequest in object model
Added Last Run times and stats
to General page
Fixed Drag and Drop of multiple items from Workbench onto preview area
Fixed problem when selecting new data group from list and getting invalid array dimension
Made Roll-up and docking behavior more consistent.
If
you close the Workbench by clicking the "X", it automatically rolls up with workbench on the preview area.
If you have rolled up the workbench in the Preview area AND undock it, the undocked work bench will roll-down.
If you subsequently re-dock it, it will still appear rolled up.
Rolling
up the work bench only applies to the current session. When you re-open the request, it will be rolled down.
Made the tabs more consistent.
Whenever you
click on a tab (even the active page), it will automatically expand so you can see the content.
Updates to the Expression Builder to work properly with date functions and clear up expressions.
Fixed problem in aarCombo where the controlsource was not being updated properly.
Ensured that Filter Data Item combo refills when new data items are added
Automatically switching to Preview when moving from a file output (graph, excel, etc) back to a report.
Fixed Resize of the Chart output option
Nightly build with fixes for filters and layout resizing

Interim Update : FFADMIN.EXE 

Here is a link to an updated FFADMIN.EXE. I was working with a new user yesterday and discovered that the Setup Wizard was out of sync with some of the changes in the OM and have corrected them.
 
You can use the same password as before but here's the link:

Just unzip this file into your Foxfire! 8.0 folder.
 
Primary Changes:
1. Setup Wizard uses proper structure for new data items and requests.
2. The picture clause no longer gets filled in with X's for character fields. This has been in the product from day one and makes it almost impossible for users to change the report width easily. Now at least it's out of the Setup Wizard so you should be able to move on it faster.
 
Note: a new full build will be coming later this week.
