Using Xapi to load financial reporter?

[troyddaniels]

I've printed the macro in Accpac, but the code isn't 100% compatible with the Xapi format. Is it possible to load accpac's financial reporter outside of accpac?

Also I've noticed that if I include the reference "Financial Reporter COM Addin" I eliminate some of the errors in the script. But my understanding is that these functions won't ultimately work unless used within accpac itself.

When using this with xapi it get's hung up on - glfrrpt.CmdFRPrintEx mDBLinkCmpRW, "preview", 1, "", "", 0" - obviously because of mDBLinkCmpRW, but I don't know what to replace this one with, or if it's all wrong together.

Which version of Accpac?
Are you really using the XAPI?
The following line is COMAPI, you cannot use the same syntax in XAPI:
glfrrpt.CmdFRPrintEx mDBLinkCmpRW, "preview", 1, "", "", 0"

I have never tried printing FR in XAPI, I have actually not used XAPI in many years, so I cannot offer any advice there.

Now that I think about it, XAPI did not support FR, you have to use COMAPI to run FR reports.

I'm using 5.3a. I've also come to your conclusion that XAPI won't support FR. I eventually got it to load but I had to use COMAPI.
