Sounds like a prime candidate for a report listener. << I can't say I'm impressed with too many of the improvements so far-- or at least not the understandability of them)
I'm surprised. The VFP Report Writer is now so good that the reasons to use a third party tool (such as Crystal Reports) are obsolete. The Report Listener alone is utterly fantastic, giving you the ability to change practically every aspect of a report before it is rendered. You can even create graphs and charts using your VFP report, without resorting to a single ActiveX control and add-on, but by simply creating the appropriate Report Listener. Regards Dominic Burford "I conclude that there are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies." -- Tony Hoare, Turing Award Lecture 1980 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Kalweit Sent: 15 November 2006 22:13 To: ProFox Email List Subject: Conditionally BOLD a report value Hello. We have a need to conditionally make a report value bold. We have about 100 fields that might be bold. In the past, we've done a work-around that I hate of duplicating all the fields-- one for normal, and one for bold, and putting the appropriate condition/not condition in the print when's of each. Is there any better way to do this, particularly with VFP9's supposedly-better report designer(I can't say I'm impressed with too many of the improvements so far-- or at least not the understandability of them).
