[DUG]: Creating Excel reports

1999-08-16 Thread Sean Cross
Our clients are demanding that we send reports out to them in excel format rather than on paper. My existing report writer (Crystal 6) produces hideous excel files which require manual refomating before distribution. Is there anything better? Using Delphi 3 and 4, MS SQL 6.5. Thanks Sean

1999-08-16 Thread gajo

Tlabels do not have a Window Handle. Obviously something is writing to the label at some point so just trap it then.. If it is a component which you link to the TLabel then you will either need to source to the component, or hopefully the developer will have created an event for the component
