QuickReports

QuickReports, launched from the LNDB Tools > QuickReports menu item, is used to design simple reports from an LNDB database. It is very simple and quick and enables you to generate a new report with just a few mouse clicks. The report can then be printed or exported to an Acrobat file.

The QuickReports Setup dialog is displayed every time a new report is created and presents you with a few basic options such as title, time range, database table, and up to 4 data columns. When you accept the settings in the QuickReports dialog, the report is then bound to the selected table. You can customize the report further using each component’s property sheet. The report can then be saved and run as a report in the Report Preview window. The Report Preview window paginates the report and gives options to print or export to an Acrobat file.

The saved report can be loaded in RTMC Pro where it can be modified with advanced features and components. When the report is saved in RTMC Pro, it will be saved as a *.rtmc2 project file. This file cannot be loaded in QuickReports. However, the QuickReports *.rtmq file will not be overwritten. This file can still be loaded in QuickReports, but it will contain none of the changes made in RTMC Pro.
