Reports tip for beta and soon-to-be beta users (by John Koziol)

  • 项目

A lot of the new reports UI is controlled by what's in the system variable _REPORTBUILDER.  Wanna play with the new UI?  Leave it as is.  Wanna run legacy UI?  Enter _REPORTBUILDER = “” from the Command Window.

The new extensions to the Report Designer and report engine are awe-inspiring. You've seen some of them at various conference and user groups over the last few months but you really have to play with them all to get a feel for the whole picture. For those needing output into different formats, look at the ReportListeners and the listeners already provided. I think my poor, old FRX2Word class is going to be swiftly obsoleted.

More on this topic later as the beta gets disseminated .....

    Is this in reference to SQL Report Services??

    If so can someone PLEASE show how to get the "Printer Delivery" sample to work..... I'm ready to rip it apart and build a WIndows Service to replace it.... Security Sandboxing done to the report server seems to totaly break it on my win 2003 server.

    No, sorry, this was a pure VFP tip.
