Printing grid contents

edited January 2004 in General
I need to print the contents of a grid - along with other information. The
number of rows AND columns in the grid can change from day to day. How do I
go about doing this with ReportBuilder? I envisage 'wrapping' the grid [if
there are too many columns] could be difficult. Thanks for any suggestions.

Regards

Mike

    Hi Mike,

    Take a look at the CrossTab component in ReportBuilder.(\RBuilder\Demos\2.
    CrossTabs\...) This enables you to create a dynamic grid-type output on a
    report. If this is not a good solution for your needs, there are a couple
    third party add-ons for ReportBuilder available from our web site at
    http://www.digital-metaphors.com/Subpages/Downloads/companionproductsRCL.html .
    Check out Grid Pack by William Yu.

    Hi Nico

    Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately I don't think your suggestions
    provide a solution to the problem ... I shall post back here if I find one.

    Hi Mike,

    Also take a look at the following example of a report that acts like a
    spreadsheet in Excel. This may give you some more ideas on how you can
    reach a solution quicker.

    Hi Nico

    Thanks. I've already looked at this. The problem is that the number of rows
    AND columns may change from day to day. There doesn't seem to be any easy
    way to do this ... I think I have to try using a JIT pipeline and hide
    columns as needed.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Regards

    Mike
