Quarta Reports - in perspective

[Bill]

Jan:

I am a consummate 9 to 5 reports user but I never (even if I had hired you
to do so) would never have wanted just a clone of 9 to 5. Software has moved
on since then, as you said. Most of us store our data in MySQL or SQLite or
one of the other excellent multi-user databases that take care of all the
database handling stuff much better than HyperCard ever did. I am very
pleased with the ability of Quartam reports to pull data from SQL and I
haven't even looked into what it can do with XML yet.

My only feature request is the ability to import PDF's in the report
designer either by converting them and using them in a compatible vector
graphic or at least import them as a background that prints in the same
manner and which we can put data fields on top of.

Bill
