Easy Report Designer Creating Different Format Files

[shri_fwh]

Dear All ,

I have tried Easy Report to create sample Designer File. I have created 2 Area's in the sample file but the AREA's details are saved in the same file it does NOT create Area wise multiple files that is why when I ran the Report file it throws the ERROR Area01 Description not found. The Report Designer file extension is .ERD it is NOT .VRD. It seems that The Designer and the run time environment is NOT in sync. Please guide me for the same.

Also during startup many errors are popping up and also for each ERDesigner startup I have to delete *.ini files. ERD is NOT in the English. which I have already reported

   local oPrnDlg

    EASYREPORT oVRD NAME oApp:G_REPORT_DIR+"Inv.vrd"  PREVIEW  lPreview TO oPrnDlg PRINTDIALOG IIF( lPreview, .F., .F. ) MODAL

               ITEMVALUES { "VIMTECH CO.", "NIRMAL TOWNSHIP 502 PUNE" }
    
    
    oVRD:End()

    RETURN NIL

Hello Shridhar,
If you have the "Inv.vrd" in an other directory than you have to change key AreaFilesDir=.\XVRD\ too.
These VRD files are normal INI files with an other file extension.
You can change the AreaFilesDir before calling EASYREPORT oVRD NAME oApp:G_REPORT_DIR+"Inv.vrd"
with WritePProString
Best regards
Otto

Dear Otto ,

As I mentioned that the EasyReport Designer is NOT created AreaFiles for the inv.erd report. And the extension is .erd NOT .vrd

Thanks
shridhar

[Otto]

Hello shridhar,
which version of
EasyReport Designer do you use. Where is it from.

We can then check if it is different from mine.

Mr Rao changed reasently from vrd.ch to #include "easyrep.ch".
Maybe also file extentions change. Let us wait for Mr. Rao.
But anyway this should always be an INI file. Please see vrd.prg and vrditem.prg. These are the classes for printing and they didn't change.
Best regards
Otto

[Otto]

Hello Shridhar,
can you please post your files and source for printing.
Then I can compile it here and search the differences.
Thank you in advance
Otto

Dear Shridhar,
what you sent is a printarea file.
You must have a inv.vrd file too.
In this file are all the global report parameters stored.
At the end you see [Areas] and here the printareas are referenced.
[Areas]
1=inv.erd
2=inv.xxx

Here I always use vrd for the general file and vr1, vr2,vr3 but you can use any name.

Please check if the AreaFilesDir=.\xVrd\ is pointing to your printarea files.


Hope this helps.
Please keep up - EasyReport is a very good solution for us Fivewinners.
Best regards
Otto

Dear Shridhar, can you please tell me where you got "ERD" from.
It seems to me as this is not working properly.
Can I download this version some where.


Best regards,
Otto
PS:
Can you please test with this version: http://mybergland.com/FWForum/ereport.zip

[nageswaragunupudi]

Mr Rao changed reasently from vrd.ch to #include "easyrep.ch".
Maybe also file extentions change. Let us wait for Mr. Rao.

Nothing else is changed.

[shri_fwh]

Dear Otto ,

Have downloaded and tried but the same result it is generated only .erd file. But no errors during startup of the ERD app.

All 4 Areas captured in the one .ERD file. I have tried to save with .vrd but not able to execute/run the file.
