No, not 'difficult', but maybe not that interesting :0 Oh, sorry, that was rude... What I mean is that PDA apps generally don't do things that, by their nature, aren't readily accomplished on PDAs. No, that cuts the PDA a bit too much slack. Instead, developers have adapted to the limitations of PDAs, and try to reason a different approach.
Some thoughts: 1. Stream your report to a text file on an SD card. 2. Paginate your report, each page to a memo or a record in your own database. 3. Leave the data in it's raw, and I assume smaller state, and reproduce the report format on the fly. 4. Compress the report - zlib does ok with fluffy text. 5. Stream to a common DOC format and view with the appropriate reader. 6. Similar to 3 and 4 above, I've written self extracting/viewing report apps by appending compressed data resources to a common execution resource. I've done all of the above. It depends on which suits best, given the needs and limitations. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Vesselin Bontchev To: Palm Developer Forum Sent: 3/21/2005 8:43 AM Subject: re: Exporting reports Wow, not even a single answer! :-( Was it such a difficult question?
