    Fast Report multi-page report

    Thanks, but I am still in the dark, in the past I used gnostice to generate pdf files, but now I use the commercial version of FastReports that also has the PDF generator included (so no need for gnostice anymore). Anyway thanks Steven

    Fast Report multi-page report

    I am using an application with FastReports and I managed to have a multi-page (composite) report, it has multiple queries and graphs bound to the pages. Is there a way to print the individual pages (topics) without reverting to using the print dialog or chopping the original report in separate...

    convincing users to buy laser printers

    We don't know the size of the company, how many printers, how many people, but IMHO the whole math for justifying was too simplistic, comparing the "cost per page" from some article in a magazine.... and base business decisions on that. Any case must be analyzed with is own constraints and...

    How best to get ahead in the world

    Probably they helped that somebody out, and that somebody risked his reputation to advocate for the job. If mr. anyone was a pain in the b.., treated other persons like morons etc.. he would not be landing in a good job. One question, what do you need then? I find it difficult to believe that...

    Anyone else having trouble finding work?

    The jails are full of "manipulators", the only manipulators that get away are the ones with a lot of money and power, they can buy themselves out of any trouble: Stalin, Bush, Mao Tse Tung, Dick Cheney and other big calibers. Shoalcreek, if you start doing like Jozef Stalin I am sure that you...

    How best to get ahead in the world

    I am also very very lazy, if I can get someone to do the boring stuff, and he/she takes pride in it, I am satisfied. That is why I do not keep knowledge to myself. Steven

    Skill Sheets

    Something similar should be: Applicants name excel --> yes duration --> 2 years I don't see any rocket science in developing something like that, it can even be "designed" with pencil and paper. Something else if you want it like an electronic survey, making graphs, pies etc.. Steven

    How to explain technical problems to users?

    Don't ASSUME, because it means making an ASS out of U and ME. I personally do not like the my documents etc.. If the computer suggests to save the file in my documents, why should an average user go against that? I would suggest to the users that if they work locally, give them a folder called...

    Any way to goto a label from inside a WITH DO block?

    Leslie did you used goto ? [shadeshappy] I remember when I got my first virus infection, it was the cascade virus and started kind a funny. I was typing in TP 4 and suddenly a letter at the top of the page fell down [ponder], I went up an typed it again, but another one fell down. After then...

    Any way to goto a label from inside a WITH DO block?

    Turbo Pascal itself was a single .COM file about 38 kilobytes long, and fitted with OS (MS-DOS) on a 180 kb floppy together with Wordstar and other files How much space you need nowadays? How many USB sticks you need to keep up? Steven

    Any way to goto a label from inside a WITH DO block?

    Turbo Pascal version 1 was released in 1983, I started in 1986 with TP 3.x, accompanied by a book about TP 1. GOTO was definitely in it. Because all "scientific" flow charts written before (and after) 1980 (year of the IBM PC) had GOTO. It would have been a major task for all the fortran...

    Any way to goto a label from inside a WITH DO block?

    GOTO existed in Turbo Pascal 3.1, it was documented and I used it some of my first transition programs from Fortran to Pascal. Anyway the transition also implied going from going from punch card to ibm-pc compatible without hardrive, only one 180 K floppy. In sequential-driven programming like...
