Thanks Jan- this is a really good intro to Rev's report printing
capabilities! It's really good of you.
Can you comment at all on the label-mode (many cards per page) feature
of Rev?
My report consists of long tables. Many sections and subsections.
Varying number of columns. Columns have labels, and fields are
formatted on a per-cell basis (right aligned, bolded, etc.). Sections
are separated by h-rule line graphics. Some tables span multiple pages,
so clean page breaks are a must- and that's what's tripping me up with
my ad-hoc report printing functions. Unfortunately for me, Rev's
report builder capabilities really seem oriented towards
stack-as-database/card-as-record type of programming model. It doesn't
seem to really be oriented towards making a tabular report with rows
and columns.
Hey is it possible to force a page break in the middle of a field?
Putting a ^L character into a field or something?
Thanks again,
