hi Jan,

Fine i can build my report to print data from Datagrid. In the code of discussion i find a error in qrtReports_MoveNextDetail I rename by te right expression in user manual qrtReports_MoveNextRecord

In my datagrid i have a chekbox. When checkbox is true , i would like "strikeout" the data or put "OK" or any other words. Is it possible by using conditions.

regards

Eric

Hi Eric,

I can see two ways of doing this: either you provide two data fields with a mutually exclusive printing condition, one where the text style is set to plain and another where the text style is set to strikethrough; or you use a single data field with field expression which returns the text with correct styling as htmlText, and set the data field format to 'html text'.

HTH,
