DataReport Questions

[rpk_20061975]

I have 3 questions:

(1) I want to display an animation when the user clicks the "Print"
button of the DataReport. The animation is displayed in a different
form.

(2) I want the DataReport window to automatically close when the printing of all the pages has finished. How to do so?

(3) I want to send certain calculated values in a function to the
DataReport without using Database method. How to do so?

button of the DataReport. The animation is displayed in a different
form

.

Try the following code:

form1.show
unload datareport1

and in the activate event of form1 enter the codes for the animatin part.

I want the DataReport window to automatically close when the printing of all the pages has finished. How to do so?

Try the following code:

unload datareport1

I want to send certain calculated values in a function to the
DataReport without using Database method. How to do so?

calculate the values and store them in a variable(say var1)
suppose you want to print that value in the details part of the datareport which is the section 3 normally.
try using this function:


Function formatLabel(lblX as rptLabel,caption as string)
with lblX
.Caption=caption
end with
end function

call this function in the event where you are opening the datareport in the following form:

formatlabel datareport1.sections(3).controls(control name), var1
datareport1.show

instead of control name you can call the control number in that section. The control number is automatically generated serially when you place the control in the datareport section. For each section the control starts from 1.

jobs_arghya - are you the person who e-mailed me about DataReport issues over the weekend?

Where is the thread that you referred to in your second e-mail to me?
