On the Horizon
| This section outlines upcoming developments. | |||
| Component | Enhancement | ETA | Elaboration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Report Wizard | Export/Import Queries and Reports | Done | Presently a query can only be saved in a query container which is a structure internal to the database. The same will shortly be true for reports. The ability to export query and report definitions to external files and to import query and report definitions from external files will enable the ability to distribute and share complex creations. |
| Report Wizard | Support for Graphic Objects | Done | Currently there is no support for any non database object except for simple text strings and certain special registers such as Page-nnnn. This facility will allow us to draw lines, boxes, shading, and to include gif, jpeg, and bmp grapic objects on our reports. |
| Report Wizard | Booklet Support | Done | This facility will support the automatic creation of saddle stitched booklets in either 5.5" X 8.5" format or 8.5" X 11" format. |
| Report Wizard | Excel Database Support | 12/31/2001 | Most of you are probably not aware that the report wizard can open any Access database not just those associated with DB2000. Beyond that however is the fact that DAO and the Jet Engine support access and control of many other types of databases including Excel, FoxPro, and Word Tables. This enhancement will enable access to Excel databases. |
