Report builder & the quote module

Doug,
When you get "Repeaters" it means that some component of your "RECORD"
line is changing, so they actually arent repeating. (oh if getting a record
line to repeat were that easy) Here's a trick you can try. Add a new group
line based on the data you want to see, then DELETE the record line. What
you are doing is grouping your data so that all those "repeaters" are
summerized under the group header. By deleting the "RECORD" they wont be
printed, only your summary header, (or just the data you really want to see.
If you have trouble with it, send me a copy and I'll take a whack at it for
you. shirleyg@...

Subject: [Vantage] Report builder & the quote module


Hi all,
We started using the quote module in vantage at the beginning of
this year and I am finally able to get around to working on some reports
in Report Builder. I am fairly new with Report Builder and will be
taking a class to learn more about it. However, I would like to gain
some experience and get some working reports made before then. (informed
questions are always good for class)
I am finding that I am having some difficulty writing a report
that will give me an accurate break down of estimated hours quoted per
workcenter. Whenever I add a join, I find that duplicates crop up and
throw off my totals. I am sure that I'm probably doing my joins wrong.
So any help would be appreciated.
I am attaching my report to this message. I am currently on
Vantage 4.00.904 and progress 9.0B29. I'll be installing 5.2 on a new
server to begin testing, but, I would like to get something working on
4.00, were I am more familiar, before jumping into the new pond.

TIA
