Hi John,
From what I remember of the PrintReport external, it
offered a collection of commands to draw graphics,
images and text onto printer paper.
If you need such pin-point control over every aspect
of the output of your report, you'll feel right at
home with Quartam PDF Library.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a report
building system modeled after the ones found in FoxPro
or Access, then Quartam Reports is just what the
doctor ordered.
Both libraries are meant for reporting, but from a
different angle:
Quartam Reports takes care of evaluating expressions,
tracking statistical data and tossing everything on
paper within bands and data groups - but you have
little control over the printout;
Quartam PDF Library gives you complete control over
what goes where, but doesn't help you calculate
anything - so just like when you're reporting to Html,
Rtf or Text files, you'll have to track everything
yourself.
Best regards,
Jan Schenkel.

Hello Jan,
What you said about PrintReport is right. You mentioned:

That is exactly what I am looking for. I will check it out
on the web site. I won't be purchasing it right away but
it will be on my list for sure.
Thank you,
John Balgenorth
