No. sorry
I would like to create a system where I can store the print form on a file
not just a single box that was just an example
Since from 1991/1992 ( fw for clipper Rel. 14.4 - Momos)
I use : FiveWin for Harbour November 2023 - January 2024 - Harbour 3.2.0dev (harbour_bcc770_32_20240309) - Bcc7.70 - xMate ver. 1.15.3 - PellesC - mail: silvio[dot]falconi[at]gmail[dot]com

Silvio,

I am sorry to be confused. All of my printouts are stored in .prg files. The content is all variables which are filled from the data. For example, an Invoice has a company name at the top ( either in text or a bitmap ), then two boxes for invoice data, side by side, multi line, and two more boxes for customer and vehicle data. These are grey boxes with borders. Then it lists parts in the next section, all properly formatted, and then labor, and then recommendations. Totals come next in a box that is has a white background, and finally the "fine print" plus any advertising info. These can be black and white, or color.

The whole invoice is a .prg file. It is the "template". Some labels are printed every time, but all data is stored at variables. Those variables are set before the print commences, or drawn fromt the .dbf fields as the printing progresses.

It might be like the report capability in FWH except it is all customized using the printer class, and far more can be done with decision trees to control the actual content and output.

I think this is pretty standard using the class. With that in mind, I'm afraid I don't really understand how this differs from what you want. In my example, the user inputs all the data into a workorder which he interacts with on the screen. To print an invoice ( or other document ) he simply presses a single button and the system selects the data from the current files which match that workorder, applies the proper formatting, and prints the invoice ( all with a single press ), or displays it in preview mode if preferred.

Timm is all right but you see I have to do a pile of documents every time, in Italy for the prints there are many types and every time I have to do many of them sometimes I use the same prints sometimes I can't use them and so if they do a store where to store the format, the fields would be easier
I was hoping for a good report designer program but there is nothing to do, they tell you it uses ER but ER has a lot of problems and honestly wasting time on ER I don't really want to, we always have to do the nistri trained in Italy you have to do about twenty all different in addition to the other prints (lists) that I use the simple treport cche also there are the problems like the famous ncounter then solved in a topic in the forum, we have the invoice but we do not have a single document there there are many types of invoices:
accompanying invoice,
deferred invoice,
proforma invoice,
immediate invoice,
deferred invoice,
advance invoice
down payment invoice
invoice for gifts
Credit and debit note
and these are for invoices only then there are many other documents

Silvio,

I likely have about 60 printouts, and they can be quite different. Each has it's own .prg.

For example, on any workorder, there are 3 options: Estimate, Invoice, and Worksheet. So in one .prg, as it goes through the process I mentioned earlier, it may print different data or formats. How does it know ? You can use IF ... ENDIF statements or the the good DO CASE option. You set an array of flags to .f., and then before printing you select the option you want for the format. That changes the value of the proper flag to .t., and the printout outputs those options.

If you requier multiple reports, you could first show a checklist. Then, you call a single Function that will print each report that is checked. You will need a key for the data to use ( in my case it is the workorder number ), but your reports can all draw the proper data based on that key.

To put it simply, each type of form has it's own .prg.
You start with a selection / options screen that allows you to decide which form(s) to print
The data for that specific job is then applied to each form and it outputs them.
Each form can have a unique design based on the needs and requirements of the client, or even the government.

Note ( the values inserted are in cm)

if the boxes start at line 7.50, the writings with the "PRINT TO oPrn" command start at line 4.30
and this is difficult to program, that is, it is not clear why this text must begin 3.20 cm less

As I told ER not run well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't waste time making prints
Unfortunately you don't live in Italy (even if you are 15 KM from the border)
In Italy there are many special documents to do

with the help of Nageswarao I was able to create something equal

this is the original

and this is what I created this afternoon, studying the technique

Image

tomorrow I will think how to create something automatically and print the forms from a print format archive

Nages,
the thickness of the lines is not good, yet I have put 1 as a value, you can have a choice like:
Very fine, fine, Medium, Thick, very thick
