Hi Lynette

Me again. Have you tried Report Manager on the Sourceforge. It claims to be as good as and may be better and it's free. I downloaded it but never got round to trying it out.

<i><font color="#663300">Your file would be a great help! Please send it to me: ltillner (AT) yahoo .D.OT com

Thanks!

I agree, I think Ed has removed the link to this forum to discourage the use of codebook which is very frustrating, but those of us already stuck with it, are well, stuck, until we can re-engineer everything under something else!

Reporting I do through Crystal Reports except for one lone report that Fox handles better than Crystal (it has a unique image file for each record - Crystal can't handle this for some reason!) I don't use Repolist at all.

Send me your email and we can maybe help each other out since we seem to still be stuck with CB!

Lynette

I have documented the step for myself hope the excerpts help:

[i-Level Change] To Show Splash Screen permanently with the App, under Classes | iApp.vcx | iApplication | Properties | Other | lShowSplash: =(!FILE("debug.txt"))

Applying VSO customizations to SplashImage and SplashForm
[a-Level Change] To attach Splash Screen Image with the App, under Classes | aApp.vcx |SplashImage | Properties | Layout | Picture: c:vso3commongraphicssplashimage.bmp | Hieght: 321 | Width: 475
[a-Level Change] Make a true splash screen, under Classes | aApp.vcx |SplashForm | Properties | Layout | Desktop: .T. - Ture | ShowWindow: 2-As Top Level Form | TitleBar: 0-Off | BorderStyle: 1-Fixed Single

Applying VSO customizations to VSO3
[a-Level Change] To allow the login and other screens to show under Classes | aApp.vcx | VSO3 | Properties | Methods | DO
at the top of the method:
CLEAR TYPEAHEAD
= INKEY(1)
after the line:
IF EMPTY( This.GetSetting("On Off Settings", "Set Bell", ""))
add this line:
THIS.ReleaseSplash()

I have more documentation like above if you want I will be glad to send the RTF file, but please note it is customization for myself so it may or may not be helpful.

Have you done reporting, I want to use iBizbjForm (w, w/o RetVal) for reporting and I want the user to create other report forms based on the basic view I have for the report, thus I require repolist as per my previous post. The common iReportform is not what I want. I want screen different for each report and filter the repolist based on first few chars of the repo file name. Rambled a bit but hope I could make myself clear.

I may have missed it but I think Ed has removed the link to this Forum from his page at www.leafe.com or maybe it was never there.

<i><font color="#663300">I can't get the splash screen code to work in CB6.2 and need an answer to a previous post. I believe the code is looking for different properties -- just the names have changed? does anyone know what was done to this code if anything???

IS there anyone out there??????????????????????????????

Thanks!
