Report Layout Editor

General
1

I have used Xojo extensively in the past but have been away for some time. I only develop for in-house projects and nothing for sale to others.

In the past, I used BKeeney Shorts but would need to repurchase Shorts and I understand the MBS DynaPDF starter plug-in.

My report requirements are much simpler now and I’m wondering if that would be overkill. Is anyone using the built in Report Layout Editor?

I only use Desktop on a Mac and with SQLite.

thanks

I no longer own Shorts, but IIRC we had an option to NOT use DynaPDF (remove the PDF class and maybe turn a constant false?). The code for Shorts hadn’t really changed much in the years before that either so it might still be usable. It’s not API 2.0 compliant which could be an issue for you I suppose.

For very lightweight reports the built-in reporting should be okay. Not sure you’ll be happy with it but if it does the job then you’re out nothing.

Thanks for the reply Bob. Good to hear from you again.
