This is how I do it. We have sales people with a copy of the database on
their laptops and they need to send special order items in for quoting.
I use a RTF and send it by email to the purchaser. This seems to work
ok.

Yes I tried that.
It sounds crazy. The report works great in 4.5 bit in 7.6 the data
arrives incomplete, some data omitted and some data out of order.
I think I will have to revert back to 4.5. Keeping two data bases up
todate is a little cumbersome.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Gary

Thank you Razzak &Jim
I have played around with your suggestions.
I just recently up graded from Rbase 4.5 to Rbase 7.6.
Big Leap.
I was happy with 4.5 but Bill Gates doesn't like dos so I was glad that
I could update to 7.6, however. I used to be able to print a report to a
file and open it up in Word and edit it.
With Rbase 7.6 it is a nightmare. I just don't think it should be so
complicated.
Is there anyone that does this.
Why does the report store in a pdf file. This seems to be the default.
If I have it print as an rtf file it is difficult yo edit and a text
file is editable but very time consuming.
Thanks
Gary Weitzel
