Quartam Reports, day late, dime short

[SimPLsol at aol.com]

Jan,
     I don't mean to be disrespectful but you have delivered the frosting 
without the cake.

     Quartam Reports does a lot of things we don't need:
- data fields using everyday Transcript expressions
- data groups with separate header and footer
- flexible formatting options
- aggregate functions without a line of code
- support for printing conditions, color and inks
- simplified printing commands for stacks, database
cursors and automated queries
- an advanced callback architecture that lets you
combine data from multiple sources

     and does not deliver what we do need:
- the ability to take information stored in a Revolution stack and print it 
in standard business format.

     Did anyone actually ask for the Quartam feature set? Did anyone beta 
test QR?

     You always tend to dismiss 9 to 5 Reports, but the fact is "they got it 
right".   Reports with HyperCard is a powerful business tool. That's why I 
invested the time in showing it to you, explaining what it meant to my business 
users, urging you to incorporate its basic functionality. We have all waited a 
long time for a Revolution solution. Based on missed deadlines to date, I am 
not optimistic about QR v 1.1 shipping in any sort of timely manner ;-)   

     I am extremely disappointed.

PS Are you saying definitively that v 1.1, if it ever ships, WILL support 
scrolling fields - and be a free upgrade?
