*yay* another RBPro developer :) I've been using RBPro for a while now
and find it to be one of the best reporting tools available, especially
for customizability, the authors are always active on their news server
at news.digital-metaphors.com and answer most questions within 1-2 days,
a week at most.
I find the ability to create your own report objects/components VERY
nice, even though I havn't yet used it.
Tony - Have you tried the TExtraDevices add-on? Which provides
reporting to rtf/xls/html?? I'm having problems getting it installed
into D3 :(
Hi Mark,
The answer is No. I am just making the transition from QR to RBPro, so I am
a novice, but what I see, I like a lot. It's slick.
The question I asked on my last mail was directed to the chap, who obviously
new Crystal very well, but unfortunatly I haven't had a reply. To refresh
your memory, the question was "Does Crystal still create real dumb SQL which
can not be modified and which brings all columns back to the workstation
where they are filterd locally???" Take a slow boat to china...
C-Ya,
Tony.
Mark
