I have a report which I need to put two fields next to each other.
One field is bold and the other is not.
DEALER NAME this is the some info that needs to left align....
I can put the two fields next to each other but how do I have the
non-bold field automatically move when the DEALER NAME is different
sizes?
Dan,
Here's how:
01. While in Report Designer, place an "Advanced Rich Text" control
and align the size/coordinates accordingly.
02. Right-click on "Advanced Rich Text" control and select Mail Merge
option.
03. Double-click on "Advanced Rich Text" control to open the Advanced
Rich Text Editor.
04. While in editor, right-click and select "Insert DB Label".
Select the appropriate first column and click on [OK] button
Click on [No] button when prompted for Display Format.
05. Repeat Step 04 and select the second column, and click on [OK]
button.
Click on [No] button when prompted for Display Format.
06. Notice the two DB labels placed side by side <column1><column2>.
07. Highlight the first <column1> and then customize everything you
can imagine, including all font properties.
08. Now click on lower right [OK] button to save Advanced Rich Text
properties.
09. Run the report to preview everything while still in report designer.
That's all there is to it!
Let me know if you need a sample report to demonstrate this cool feature
in R:BASE eXtreme 9.1/9.5.
Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
