thanks again dave.... you mentioned printer 'associated' with a report. how does cognos determine which printer is associated with a particular report? i am willing to ask this even if it is a stupid question. chrys

yes... USB cradle, win98, intellisync conduit with outlook, intstall/backup buddy, clie peg-n760c. i have tried reinstalling desktop/hotsync, intellisync, and repairing outlook. nothing has worked so far. i tend to think the problem is with one of the first applications (i.e. outlook and...

is there any way to import other fonts into cognos/impromptu? related to another post i have, a specific printer we use for creating labels is rather old and has some Gothic fonts as native fonts... if i could add these fonts to my report it would help a great deal with speed and legibility...

thanks dave... no the objects are not dynamically sized. one thing i just found that made a difference is if i set the default printer to the one that prints on these pages. the problem with this is that we cannot have the default printer be the one that prints out the labels. and, once this...

i have never had problems syncing until now. i was trying to sync my clie a few days ago and it began normally but immediately after identifying the user an pop-up said that there had been a problem with the sync. i reviewed the log and it said that an application failed to respond and that i...

i have a report that prints labels onto pages with dimensions of 14 7/8 X 12. however, i cannot get the report to maintain this page size from one execute to the next. it's strange... i have a test report that i used in creating this one and it maintains the page size, but this one doesn't. i...

one workaround i have employed is to create a view that contains data/tables from multiple databases. create the view in one database and access the information via odbc to that database. chrys

thanks for the input dave. it seems that the application adjusts the cognos.ini when it calls up a report. i asked the tech lead (from the vendor) on our implementation about this problem and he said it has to do with setting up a logical database. i have the logical database set up similarly...

our company is using a third party interface for association management. cognos is the custom report application chosen by the vendor. there are already some reports written in cognos and the interface allows the user to choose a report that will open impromptu and run the report. we have...

the help file for cognos describes a method for using several databases in a catalog, but the description is sparse. is there a way to include multiple databases (with different dsn's) into a catalog. we have 20+ databases that our managers use for different client groups and the main problem...

how do i specify a distinct value in cognos (without using a sql expression)? the help files specify a 'distinct component' but it is not listed in available components. thanks in advance.

i have tried the drill-through and that will work well in-house. what i have been trying to figure out is if i can print out a report with reports attached. i would also like to export drill through reports into a document type that could be viewed by our customers who do not have impromptu...

this could be a very basic question but it's one i would like to ask. is there any way to attach multiple reports to one another, i.e., display one report, then another? i have worked with the subreports some but i have not been able to figure out how to have them display subsquent to the...
