PRINTING DATA

[VEL. ESWARAN]

Sir

I am using visual foxpro. I am unable to print the details collected from the database using a prg program that is ?.

As I was comfortable with the ? output in prg, in dos mode. But I can do better in visual foxpro.

You can still use the ? command, but a much better approach is to create a report.

Start by opening the table containing the data that you want to print. Then open the report designer (type CREATE REPORT from the command prompt). Refer to the Help if you are uncertain how to use the designer. Finally, save the report, then (with the table still open) use REPORT FORM to print it or to display it as a preview.

Mike
