I know I take a shortcut, I have not time to scan the documentation.
Someone is looking for quotes for his project. The description is:
Need an application and / or interface to create and manage reports with specific fields, but with unlimited quantities.
Can be interfaced with a database.
Quite precise as you can see .
So my question is: is it possible to create a desktop application that lets the user to create and managed his own reports using the report creation included in Xojo ?
I know BKeeny Shorts, I find it rough on the edges. So Xojo Report creation canât be used by a user ? I am trying to find all of the options in order to send an open quote until I get more information, if I can get some.
report creation is very special and not for a default user.
what maybe work if you would use a scripting language for generating a report.
if you have a windows server and a ms sql server maybe âSQL Server Reporting Servicesâ it have a own
reporting tool. you could start it from your xojo app.
Community activity is also a huge factor of trust with third party tools. I havenât ever had the pleasure of chatting with Bernado Monsalve, nor can I find a forum user by that name.
Thatâs not to say theyâre not great with email support, I just havenât ever come across them personally.
I tried the âŠExample 2018r4⊠project in both 2020r1 and 2018r4, for unknown reasons the files that are supposed to be copies under Windows->CopyFilesStepWin are not copied, with the result that the application fails. I wonder whatâs wrong with files copying ?!?
I also looked at the code, everything is API 1.0. It compiles under 2020r4, I thought it wouldnât.
To sum up, dbReport hasnât been revisited since a while, so I donât thing I can trust it.
