Printing the report

[matrik02]

Hi, I no idea how I can print the report.

I would like to print the report. Before printing the report, I would like to allow the user to design the layout for example type the title name of the report, date, and time of the report was automatically print out, suitable place to put the picture box on the form to print out, and the suitable place to print out the information.

How I can do that?any idea?

What you mean with report engine?It is data report is one of the report engine?
This is first time i heard it. What is your recommended ?

A report engine is a piece of software designed to produce reports such as Crystal Reports or the Data Report that you are referring to.

Even MS Access could be used as a report engine.

I think Hack wants to know how you are creating the reports in the first place.

If that you mean, Yes . I have data report.

It is possible to place the picture on the data report environment ?How I can type the the title name of the report and then sent it to data report to print it out?

It may be downloadable, but not before you pay a whole bundle of money.

I usually using data report to design the report. But I don't have an idea how I can place the picture that have an image to print it out together with the data report. How I can print out the picture from the picture control ?
