Man, do I need a refresher course or what? I haven't had to do any
complicated reports (not that this seems complicated, but it's something
easy to do in 6.5++ and I'm scratching my head over 7.1 and can't find
any samples with what I'm trying to do).
I'm trying to put together a report to show a client who's considering
upgrading to 7.1 from 4.5. Unfortunately this will be on the cheap, so I
am doing a straight conversion -- no restructuring of database tables.
Question 1: Is it true that there is no way to word wrap a DBLabel? Please
tell me there's a way to do this. This report has tons of columns and all the
text values wrap into multiple lines. I do not want to restructure a table to
change nice static text columns into a whole bunch of note fields.
Question 2: If I have a DBMemo with other DBLabels located below it in the
detail band, what's the procedure to keep the memo from flowing down into
the field below it? Do I have to enclose every DBMemo field within a region?
Question 3: It says that "stretch" will be ignored if the band is "static". I had
"static", but it refused to let me choose "dynamic". I would click it and it
goes back to "static"
Feeling stupid today!
Karen
