I wasn't making a statement with that, but asking a question (look closely and you'll see the "?"). So, the posted code should work, given that some prerequisites are in place. Notably, that you have a myReports.py script that defines a getReportCursor() function, that returns a dataset (a list of "records", where each record is a dict of field names->field value mappings). Note that the report writer and the report designer are two different beasts: Report Writer: runtime use; takes a .rfxml file which defines the report, adds a dataset or "Cursor", and outputs a pdf file. Report Designer: visually design your .rfxml file. -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
