    IMPROMPTU HELP with COUNT........URGENT!!

    vijay, I have a problem!! Using the method you told me, everything works perfect. But since I don't want the "extra columns" in my report. I chose to "hide" the unwanted columns. Now, when I use a prompt to pick a Start date and a End date for the Query, all of my totals...

    cognos is verrrrrrrrrryyyyyyy slow

    I find that hard to believe as well. You might have a memory leak. Make sure you don't have a lot of applications running and disable software you don't use often during startup. Once all that is done, try opening Cognos before anything else and see if there are any changes. Chances are, it...

    IMPROMPTU HELP with COUNT........URGENT!!

    If I do a count initally for "M%" and "F%" like you said, it would count everything in my report that starts with M and F, not just Male and Female.Or am I wrong?

    Make Report Read-Only...Possible??

    I'm using portfolio as a menu to launch a few reports. I was wondering if it is possible to make the reports read-only. Is there an option(properties, etc) that will allow me to accomplish this. I only wants these particular reports to be read-only, not everything associated with Cognos...

    Possible to make a GUI?

    Kevin, I tried this, but it only opens up the first report. In other words. Once I change it to "si" and launch a report in portfolio, the first report(which ever I choose) opens up w/o a problem. Now when I try to open up a second report, it takes me back to Impromptu with the...

    Possible to make a GUI?

    Keep in mind that I am using Portfolio: Anyone know why, each time I launch a report, a new instance of Impromptu is opened up. Which means the user has to enter the user ID and Password all over again. Any one know how I can make it open multiple reports in one instance of Impromptu rather than...

    Possible to make a GUI?

    Sorry all, but one last question: Adam, When I go to the startup tab I see a check box for: "Start in Full Screen View" but nothing for "View Mode". In other words, When I open up the file, its opens up in a full screen (which is good) but it is still in author view. (Now...

    Possible to make a GUI?

    I used portfolio to make a menu: 2 Question... About the portfolio tool, I was wondering, is it possible to save it under "View Mode" instead of "Author Mode" so each time you open it up, you wouldn't have to switch to "Author" for the launch buttons work? Also, is...

    Possible to make a GUI?

    I made a few reports and was wondering if it is possible to make some sort of GUI(interface), perhaps where I could have buttons for each report. I just want it to look nice, rather than give my user 10 different files, where they have to go and open each one individually. At this point, it's...

    Problems with prompts - Please Help

    Thanks Shek, that helps by letting the user know that the query did run and that nothing was pulled back. But at the same time, I also want them to "see" the value they chose in the prompt. Can you, or anyone else help me with this? Thanks.

    Impromptu: Combine records to eliminate duplication

    I was hoping someone could help me out a little more. I am extremely new to Cognos (had it for about a week), and don't even know where to start. If what Justin said is true, that the above is really complicated, I was wondering, would it be possible for me to hide/suppress the duplicates (Item...
