Congratulations on the new version. Output device support for doc looks very
promising.
Does this mean output to a word document so it can be changed there?

Kind regards,
Jeroen.

Hi Jeroen,

The DOC device essentially exports your report to RichText format, then
places a ".doc" extension on the file ensuring it will be opened using a
text editor that can handle that format (Word).


Yes, you will be able to export to a word document and edit the output
inside Word if needed.

Hi Nico,

Thanks for the clarification. The problem I have with the current rtf output
devices is that it is often difficult to edit the output. For example: a
page footer is not exported as a rtf page footer resulting in shifted pages
when inserting text. But I will check the new output devices for sure.

Kind regards,
Jeroen.

Hi,


Any chance that the DBCalc has been updatated to have more control over when
it is calculated? Something like OnGroupHeader, OnGroupFooter, Change of
Value, etc? That would really make dealing with running totals so much
nicer.
