It's not actually that easy to use fonts and paper size etc if you're printing direct from reportwriter. I'd stick with the way you're doing it. > c) Disturbing format : Sorry my mistake, I have changed the font from > Lucida console to Areal and I have got all disturbed like : > A0024 ANIL MADHUKARRAO MU 002 100.00 > A0034 ARCHANA RAMESHWAR T 002 200.00 > A0035 ANITA ASHOK LONKAR 002 300.00 > B0001 BALAJI NARSINGRAO D 002 100.00 > B0012 BALASAHEB RAVSAHEB 002 200.00 > B0013 BABITA GANPATRAO CH 002 200.00 This is a consequence of the font, not Ingres. Arial is a proportional font, meaning that different characters have different widths. In order for the values to line up and not be 'disturbed' you need to use a fixed width font, like Lucida console or Courier, where each character is the same width. This is because reportwriter is a text-based tool. It generates text reports. If you want something that produces so-called 'rich text' with fonts, colours, italics and possibly images etc - you need something else, something like Visual Express or Crystal Reports can do this kind of thing I believe. Those are Windows based reporting tools. HTH -- Paul Mason _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ingres.ca.com http://ingres.ca.com/mailman/listinfo/users
