Reports & Report designer
I feel truly stupid - I followed your link - saw the cover page, and realized I purchased the book a couple of years ago for a project that died before I got to the reporting stage. I turned out it was 3 feet away from me hidden behind several hundred other computer books <g>. Chapter 11 would have saved me hours of work a few days ago. I'll read that tomorrow - thanks.
I hardly ever need to do reporting in the kind of FoxPro work I do. This project has piles of reports, and I've been supporting it for four years, first time I ever had to change a report. The last big project, did everything with FoxFire. The last time I hacked a report was DOS 2.6 FP.
It turns out that this report, [which is only used for one record at a time] is a three page report being expanded into a four page report. I now have figured out what the designer did. He created two separate frx's, one for page 1 and 2 and the second for page 3. Page 1 is actually in the title of the report, and page 2 is the body band - weird.
I have VFP 5,6, and 7 - to match what clients have installed. This has been all developed in VFP6 until now. My client just delivered me a copy of VFP9 [it seemed to have better from support, so I asked for it]- so I'll install that tonight.
I have about 1500 fields and boxes to move and re-align, and about 100 new fields to add - yuch.
