Is it possible to export to excel using the query data only rather than fields that are on the layout ? We have a need to export about 100 fields but the layout looks a mess. If we could do data only, it would be great. Thanks
The export devices included with ReportBuilder do not interface directly with data.
They require a report layout which, when processed by the report engine, creates TppPage objects containing TppDrawCommands (instructions for drawing each item on a page). These drawcommands are then read by the export device and converted to drawing instructions specific to the format required.
I suggest perhaps creating two reports, one for viewing and one for exporting.
