Mark,
I am running Vantage V3... so I don't know if this is valid for your system.
In Vantage.ini, I made the following changes:
Locate the [fonts] section and change "font36=Courier New,size=9"
Locate the [Vantage] section and change "ReptLPP=55"
Note: I am using only HP1100, HP4000, HP5000 for all Vantage reports.
Default page orientation is Landscape. With these setting, you will actually
be able to read your reports!
See below for futher explanation.
Good Luck
Jim Stetter
Make the following changes in Vantage.ini
[fonts]
;lots of fonts listed
;
;
;font36=Courier New,size=7
;font36=Courier New,size=8
font36=Courier New,size=9 ; I found that this yields the largest print
size @ 55 LPP / landscape 8.5" x 11"
;
; lots of other stuff
;
;
[Vantage]
FormFontNum=37
FormLPP=51
ReptFontNum=36 ; see above ref in [fonts]
;ReptLPP=94
ReptLPP=55 ; sets page length to 55 lines - we print
all Vantage reports in landscape
PreviewProgram=preview.w

The reports that you are having problems with are the ones generated by
Progress. Unfortunately, Progress doesn't do a very good job giving you
the
nice little options we have all become accustomed to (different sizes,
bold,
underline, etc.). The advantage, however, is that these reports run faster
than if they had been created with RB or Crystal. It's a trade off, and
one
we have to live with until Progress gives us a little more report power. I
don't know if there have been any changes to this in the latest version of
Progress. Does anyone else know???

Speaking of the print being too small.......Does anyone know of a way to
change the size of the print on some of these "canned" reports without
doing
programming? Is there a field setting or default somewhere in Vantage that
can change the size/font of the print? Thanks

Thad:
Is there a reason that you don't use the summary only version of Vantage's
existing Production Detail Report? That might put you out of your misery,
and it is current with data collection, purchasing and so - on, plus gives
a
nice little comparison between actual and estimated... If you do the
summary, select one job and it takes about two seconds to print.
Just an idea from the trenches.
Yes, I know the print is small.

I'm having some trouble writing a particular reportbuilder report.
What I want to do is to list, for a particular job, list the total
in-house
operations cost and hours, the total subcontract cost and hours, and the
total cost of materials. I am using JobOper to pull the Operations costs,
linking it to the JobHead, the master table, by Jubnum.
This works fine, until I try to link the materials table to JobNum. When I
do so, I get duplicate operation entries, one duplicate for every material
line.
Am I using the wrong master table? Is there any way to get a materials
total cost on the same Reportbuilder Report with operations total cost?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Thaddeus
