Actually, you can edit a report once it is in a menu. I do it all the time. Press Alt-F8 to edit the menu, then 8 to edit an item, enter the menu number you assigned to the report, and then have at it.

What there isn't an easy way to do (unfortunately) is to move or copy a menu-assigned report to another menu item number, another menu, or the report list. Whenever I have to do that, I end up having to dpexp the database, edit the ste file to isolate just the report(s) I need to move, then dpimp those reports back into the database where they end up on the report list. Then I can copy them to other menu locations as needed. Definitely do-able, and not too complicated once you've done it a bunch of times, but still more difficult than would be preferred.

Only if there is a limit on how many menus you can have. You cannot directly edit a report once it is in a menu.

Is there no upper limit on the number of reports in menus? I wasn't aware of that.

Remember that if you have a menu system built you can add as many
reports as you want into the menu and remove them from the report list
so that you can create new ones once you hit the limit.

Used to be 169. Not sure if that ever changed or what happens if you
exceed the limit. I imagine DP will not let you attempt to create it,
or else will not let you save it.

Limits are outlined on page 30 of my book.

Hi Everybody,

Greetings from The Big Apple. We're having our first snowfall of the
season this morning, although it's not sticking.

I'm using DP 2.6x. What is the maximum number of reports one can
create? What will happen if you exceed this number?

Thanks!
Charlie Wolf
