    KB 926393 refers to "the Report Writer Programmer's Interface document in the Software Development Kit". The only document I'm aware of in the SDK is the RW_Func.doc that you wrote.  Is this what the KB is talking about or is there another reference out there somewhere?

    Hi George You did not mention the tool that you are using. If using Dexterity, use the run report command. If using VBA, look at the following sample which uses pass through Dexterity sanScript with the run report command. http://blogs.msdn.com/developingfordynamicsgp/archive/2008/09/29/purchasing-terms-conditions-example.aspx David

    How can I add a virtual table so Report Writer can see it in the table lookups?

  • Anonymous
    June 09, 2009
    Hi Dan As far as I know a virtual table cannot been referenced from a table relationship so you could not add it to a report.   Using VBA, you can access data from any table or SQL View. Have a look at http://blogs.msdn.com/developingfordynamicsgp/archive/2008/10/30/using-vba-with-report-writer.aspx David PS: There are only 2 virtual tables in v10.00 Dynamics.dic anyway.

    Hi Lauran Can't say I have ever tried.  I would suggest you ask on the newsgroups/forums. If you are having a specific problem, make sure you explain what it is in your post. Thanks David

    Hi...I am trying to link a UDF to a report.  Specifically, I want to add Receivings UDF Text 1 to the check stub as a description of the voucher. So far all my attempts have been unsuccsssful.  Can you point me toward some sample code or a sample explanation on how to do this? Thanks, Neil

    Hi Neil Can I suggest that you ask this type of question on the newsgroups where others can answer and also where others can benefit. There are links on the left hand side of this blog. When you post, please let us know the exact report name so we can work out if it will be possible to create a chain of table relationships to the POP_Receipt (Purchasing Receipt Work) and POP_ReceiptUserDefined (Purchasing Receipt User-Defined) tables.  If not, you can also look at VBA to directly acess the POP_ReceiptUserDefined (POP10306) table via ADO & SQL.

    Hi there! Is it possible to set the paper size of the report? I have design three different report with three different paper size thanks Arnold

    Hi Arnold I answered your similar question when you asked on another post. You cannot define paper size in the report writer. However, you can define custom page sizes is most printer drivers. Dexterity reads the page size from the printer driver. I would suggest using Named Printers to select the printer and/or adjust settings. David

    Hi Charles Blog comments are not the best method of providing support. I suggest you try the newsgroups or forums. Also have a look at the following articles as they show methods of getting data onto a report when it is not possible to create a relationship to the appropriate table.  Any data stored in a table can be accessed and added to a report. blogs.msdn.com/.../using-ado-with-vba-with-report-writer.aspx blogs.msdn.com/.../how-to-add-item-category-long-descriptions-to-reports-using-the-support-debugging-tool.aspx David

    David, Do you know of a technique in Report Writer to print fields from an Extender Form rather than from an Extender Window? Thanks Wassim
