Recently MS removed several files from their Archive gallery, I've uploaded the latest VFP9 SP2 Hotfix – MSKB 968409 at the FoxyPreviewer downloads page.
This hotfix is essential for Foxers who use FoxyPreviewer and Top Level Forms. It brings a fix for a "Disabled report toolbar".
You can get the files directly in the FoxyPreviewer releases page, at: http://foxypreviewer.codeplex.com/releases
Below is the Information provided by Microsoft regarding this HotFix at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968409/en-us . Hopefully they'll not retire that page as well !!!

FIX: The group header of a data grouping is not printed at the top of a page as expected after you install Visual FoxPro 9.0 Service Pack 2



Article ID: 968409

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have installed Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) on a computer.
  • You have a report that contains a data grouping.
  • You select the Reprint group header on each page option for the data grouping.
  • You run the report.
  • The details for the data grouping end near the bottom of a page. This causes the data group footer to be printed at the top of the next page.
In this scenario, the header of the next data group and the footer of the current data group are interleaved at the top of the next page as follows:
  • The data group header of the next data group
  • The data group footer of the current data group
  • The details for the next data group
However, you expect that the data group headers and footers should print at the top of the next page as follows:
  • The data group header of the current data group
  • The data group footer of the current data group
  • The data group header of the next data group
  • The details for the next data group
