How to programmatically prepare a Report like FPD 2, but not using (.FRX / .FRT) the report builder.

[SANJIB KR KANUNGO]

Hello Friends,
I am a new comer to the Visual FoxPro-9 Programming world. I want to know how to create report using @ Row,Col like Dos FoxPro 2.6
Thank you

The short answer is that you do it in exactly the same way as you would in Foxpro for DOS. The [tt]@/SAY[/tt] and [tt]?[/tt] commands still work. Just remember that to direct the output to the printer, you must issue [tt]SET DEVICE[/tt] or [tt]SET PRINTER.[/tt]

That's the short answer. But the real answer is that you really should try to forget [tt]@/SAY[/tt] and [tt]?[/tt], and learn how to use the VFP report writer. It's not all that difficult, and it will allow you to greatly improve the quality of your reports.

SANJIB KR KANUNGO,

You had two replies to your question. Were either of them any help? Do you still have a problem? It would be good to let us know.

Mike
