We derive a \mathcal Ck+\yt Hölder estimate for Pϕ, where P is either of the two solution operators in Henkin's local homotopy formula for ∂b on a strongly pseudoconvex real hypersurface M in \mathbf Cn, ϕ is a (0,q)-form of class \mathcal Ck on M, and k≥0 is an integer. We also derive a \mathcal Ca estimate for Pϕ, when ϕ is of class \mathcal Ca and a≥0 is a real number. These estimates require that M be of class \mathcal C^k+5/2, or \mathcal Ca+2, respectively. The explicit bounds for the constants occurring in these estimates also considerably improve previously known such results. These estimates are then applied to the integrability problem for CR vector bundles to gain improved regularity. They also constitute a major ingredient in a forthcoming work of the authors on the local CR embedding problem.
