Setting Up the Advanced Tab in Report Field Properties

[jtlodi]

In the VFP9 native install the report writer's field property box does not show an "advanced" tab which allows text rotation within a report. Can someone please advise me as to what needs to be done to activate that funtionality.

Thank you,
Jim

Hi Jim.

First, this requires VFP 9 SP2. Second, use SET REPORTBEHAVIOR 90.

Thanks Doug,

I found that 3 files (ReportBuilder.app - ReportPreview.app - ReportOutput.app) on my desktop were newer (10/06) than those on my laptop. I'm not sure if these were placed there during the SP1 install or not. I transfered them to the laptop and that took care of my problem. The laptop did have SP1 on it also so I'm not sure when and from where I added them.

These may have been extracted from a SP2 install but I honestly don't remember.

I have read several other suggestions that these apps in SP2 could be added without upgrading everything else from SP2. Most recommended not upgrading unless you are working in Vista. I wonder if we will ever get to a 'stable' final release.
