To ALL R:BASE 7.0 for Windows Beta Testers: Tip of The Day: Using LookAhead Calculations (Report Designer) Using The Magical R:BASE 7.0 for Windows Report Designer, LookAhead calculations allow you to display the result from a DBCalc or Variable component, earlier in the report than is normally possible. For example, totals which are calculated for the entire report, normally display in the Report Footer band. With the new LookAhead property, you can place those same totals in the title band. It is simply a matter of placing a DBCalc or Variable in the title band, and setting the LookAhead property to True. Similarly, calculations can be displayed in the header band, the group header band and the column header band. Note: In order to function properly, the LookAhead property requires that the Report Pass Setting property be set to Two Pass. Therefore, when you set the LookAhead property to True - the Report Pass Setting property is automatically set to two pass. Have Fun Playing with The Magical R:BASE 7.0 for Windows! Very Best Regards, Razzak. ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: http://www.mail-archive.com/rbase-l%40sonetmail.com/
