Need Help With Quick Report in P10

[LarryDavidow]

In P7, you could run a query, right click on the Quick Report button and select the report you would like to view the data in. Then, click (left) on the Quick Report button and it would display your query data in the report you selected.

Is there any way to do this in P10?

Larry,

We lost the ability to right-click toolbar buttons a couple of versions back. However, you should be able to use a bit of ObjectPAL to display a fileBrowser listing various reports and then go from there. I have a couple of different examples on my site, but I think

is the most relevant.

You can also use ObjectPAL to create quick reports from forms (

It's also possible to use ObjectPAL to add buttons to the toolbars, but I haven't finished my article on that, yet. Give me a couple of days and I'll see what I can mock up.

Hope this helps...
