Answer to your question 1:
01. Create a Systems DSN using Sybase ODBC driver, then:
use the following commands in R:BASE for Windows:
SCONN DSNName IDENTIFIED BY UserID Password
SATTACH [TableName [AS TableAlias] [USING ColumnList] [ALIAS AliasList]]
For more details and examples: http://www.RSyntax.com
02. The Glorious R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) for Windows, Build:1.851xRT03,
includes the ENHANCED PRNSETUP command to specify 'Paper Size'
as well as the 'Paper Source' to automate entire task.
If you are trying to print via Word, you'll need to setup a System
DSN for
R:BASE 2000 Database using R:BASE 6.5++ ODBC Driver or OTERRO
2000 (ver 2.5) Driver to access R:BASE Database.
Have Fun!
Very Best Regards,
