Graphical Reports

Michael,

How do you go about starting a project like that? I'm just starting out on Visual Basic and Progress programming. How do you dump the data into a text file automatically? I know how to do it if I'm in report builder but how would you do this automatically? Is this done in Visual Basic or using a progress procedure?

Thanks!!!

Jasper

I do several Graphical reports (bar charts, pie charts, etc.) using Report
Builder and the MSChart.OCX control. RB dumps the data in a formatted
structure to a text file which is then passed to a visual basic application
using the MSChart.OCX control, I read in the data from Report Builder, dump
it into the Chart control, then either print it to a printer or save it as a
bitmap which is displayed on our Intranet. All of these charts/graphs are
done automatically at night with AutoRpts.

I'm really disappointed with Progress's decision to discontinue Report
Builder....... :(

Good Morning all,

Does anybody know if Vantage can do graphical reports? If not, any
suggestions on how I could accomplish this?

Thanks,
Jasper

As far as I know, the only place in Vantage itself from where graphical
reports can be generated is the performance inquiries under Executive
Analysis>ShopVision. Otherwise, you need VBI or Crystal Reports or some
other application in conjunction with ODBC.

HTH.
