Hello all,
I am wondering what everyone is using to create reports? While most of what I need is for Web Apps, desktop are also used.
Thanks,
Tim

you could setup a report server.
this usually connect to a database and have a report designer.
maybe Valentina Reports
or create pdf at runtime.

I’m giving a talk on Xojo Reporting to a Xojo group in the Cotswolds, UK on 5 December. I’ve put the Keynote presentation online in case you want to have a look. It’s build into all my Xojo apps and works on desktop, web and iOS. Basically reporting comes as small, medium and extra-large!

I will have a look.

I have been using Paradigma/Valentina ADK for several years for pretty complex reports (including barcodes, QR-codes, etc.). However, the limited functionality there (I had been coming from crystal reports and/or MS-Access reports) did require some adjustments in the DB (views, etc.). But me and my clients like the reports pretty much.
I’snt that the 2nd?
I have used BKeeney Shorts Pro for years (Discontinued).
I’ve adapted it to API2 and can personalize as I need.
AFAIK, it’s still available at BKeeney Shorts 2.0 - varcess. Dunno if it’s been updated since I sold it to them or not.
@Bob_Keeney3, No news after you sell it to them
We are working on a new release of BKeeney Shorts, which will be released in spring 2025.
Sorry, yes!
BTW I have not used either Valentia Reports or BKeeney Shorts, so they don’t appear in my Keynote.
