[Openroad-users] Reporting options.

[Antill, Jim]

Hi,
 
I did write a set of routines to use MS-Word, Excel etc. a while back using
Office 2000 and above. I remember Christian, myself and a few others
exchanged information during the ongoing development of this area of code.
Let me know if you any further info on this.
 
I also wrote a userclass that allowed an HTML report to be built up. The
class was simple, just building the HTML in a StringObject and writing it out
to a file which could then be viewed. The class contains methods to add
tables, images etc. When the HTML is then combined with CSS some nice effects
can be produced. Again, if you want any info on this let me know.
 
The HTML route is the one I take for most reports now as the HTML files are
small, easily viewed, stored, mailed to other users etc. Previously I used OR
Reporter which I found good if a little fiddly at times. If I was revisiting
the whole thing now I'd be looking closely into the XSLT stuff.
 
Are there any new Reporting developments in OR2006?
 
Regards,
Jim

Hello Andrew,
 
I wrote a long time ago VB6 ActiveX controls to drive MS-Excel and MS-Word.
from OR4:
open a new document/sheet, add text, change format,...
 
Unfortunately m desktop crashed since that time, with no safe copy of course
:(,
but I shared them with Kim Ginnerup ( Hello Kim )
and someone else but I don't remember who ( Jim Antill but not sure )
 
maybe they can share them with you
 
Regards
Christian

Hi All,

I know this issue has been bought up before but I need to 
know if anyone has made any wonderful discoveries lately
in the world of reporting.

We have looked at OR's Reporter, Crystal Reports and the
old Ingres RWs but need something else.

We are printing reports that currently use PCL codes and
would like to move to postscript/html/pdf/word docs or anything
else that will allow us to put data into tables (varying columns,
rows, widths and heights) with all nice extras - bold, underline,
fonts selection, tick boxes, shading, etc.

The best end result would be to have something the users
can adjust as required.

As usual, cost is a great factor in our choice.

Any help will greatly be appreciated.

Regards,
Andrew.
