DataGrid or Variable printing

Post by tazmanty » Tue Jul 08, 2014 1:18 am

Is it still the case that only the profession version will allow printing from a variable? If yes, is creating a SQL database form the variable or dagtagrid and then printing a good option?
Thank you
Ty

Hi Ty,

Scripting your own data brokers is still the terrain of the professional edition, I'm afraid. I do plan to add standard commands specifically for printing arrays and datagrids, but I have too much on my plate right now to finish implementing that in the short term.
In the meantime, you make an interesting case for creating an in-memory SQLite database, filling it with data and then using a revdb result set and the qrtReports_PrintReportForCursor command to print the report.

Dumb question time. I can't find: qrtreportslib or the app to add to the stack of my standalone. And when I try to vewi the sample I get an error that it can't fined the samples. I've look at the folder and it is not included or am I just overlooking it.
Thanks
Ty
