Hi,

In response to Julian's mail, I make an VisualFoxpro exe to be called from Fivewin, for visual report design, it supports dbf/cdx only.

Just edit report.dbf & reportdb.dbf will do, refer to readme.txt

I upload it to :-
http://hyperupload.com/download/01dc58d ... t.zip.html

require VFP7 runtimes dll (roaylty free distributed) :-
http://hyperupload.com/download/022a635 ... 7.zip.html

Antonio,

You can download from this address:

ftp://ftp.prolib.de/public

You would select VFP7SPORT.EXE and after install it in your computer.

It is a good solution. I am translating this message in spanish forum too.

Only to be curious what advantages do you see using "visual report designer" over FIVEWIN report designer EasyReport?

Thanks in advance
Otto

Hi, Otto,

I first use visual report designer in 2004 or earlier. as a free and quick solution to design/preview report on the fly, and by that time Fivewin EasyReport still not available yet.

I haven't try latest Fivewin EasyReport and can't compare both.

Hoe

Hello Hoe,

I feel there is not much missing in EasyReport.
Give it a new try. Most sources are there too.

It's a pity that not more FIVEWINNERs are using EasyReport. So much energies are lost if everyone searches another solution and further development of EasyReport is suffering.

I myself tried many solution, too but I must say for “everyday” reports EasyReport is very good.

If you have to distribute solutions with extern reports you always have to install dlls, ocxs, etc. :
foxreport.zip : called by fivewin winexec()
- vfp9dll.exe : runtime dlls
With CR sometimes I had to install the full version of CR to get it going.

This is a big disadvantage.

My WINHOTEL runs on every WINDOWS PC from a USB stick.
There is no installation necessary. You can plug in the stick and start working.
Fivewin is real plug and play.

Otto

Hi Otto,

I'm wondering... I never user Easyreport, but, is there a possibility to create a report for dot-matrix printers (I mean, using ONLY the dot-matrix fonts) and show a preview of this report? I'm asking this because I have this kind of problem using TDosprn for dot-matrix printers, and I haven`t seen any report creator generating this kind of option.

Regards,

Hello Kleber,

I don’t know if ER works for DOS printers.
I do my DOS printing the hardcoded way.

But for windows printing it is very fine. Also the designer is easy to use.
Endusers are able to change some features themselves.

The printing is organized in so called PRINTAREAS.

For example you have a PRINTAREA for the header one for the footer and one for the positions.

The reports are stored in TXT-files for each Printarea one.
So you can manipulate also the txt files to change the reports.

And it is very easy to pass data to the report because you handle all in your source code in FIVEWIN.

Regards,
Otto

Well, I see that previewing a DOS report is not so easy. Anyway, thanks for all informations.

Dear Kleyber,

For Dos mode printing and preview, have u tried the class TDosPrn ? It gives a preview too. I have modified the class a little bit more to check for network dot matrix printers and I have posted it in the spanish forum.
