Hi,
As a matter of interest (for a quite Newbie), what technic(s) are the
most popular among RB developers to print datas out of RB in Database
Apps?
For instance :
Do you use file template, like for instance a .rtf file with a set of
fields (ie <Name>) that you replace with RB and rely on Word,
OpenOffice etcŠ to output?
I use this one. it allows the client to configure their reports anyway
they want without me building a custom app for them.
I use RBScript to handle the business logic. A client can write there
own script and template in my system.
Sounded like the best method to me in term of Quality of output, Time of
development and procuring the customer some wy to manage their output.

2 - Here comes the difficult one : Reports with sub-totals etcŠ
Do you rely on export-import sequences using Excel?
Yes in addition to the template/RTF option.
Hum, I don't like that Excel option.
- The customer has to have Excel or a comaptible Spreadsheet
- The customer has to be used to use Excel,
- To make a reasonably well formatted spreasheet from RB must be a pain
in the Back, no?
Thanks for the answer,
Youri
