Hi!

We are beginning to get really fed up with the pokeyness of Report
Builder.  Its too slow, it sometimes blows its data server connections
and has too many limitations.  Since we are already doing a considerable
amount of preprocessing and slicing/dicing of our data prior to feeding
it to report builder, we are looking for either a better way to print
within Progress or perhaps look at another third party utility for
printing (that we could feed a ASCII file with some sort of formatting
commands - maybe like .ini headers).  The problem is - as most of you are
aware - is that there is no easy way to print columnar data that contains
numeric decimal data - as well as other types of formatting such as
shading from within Progress.  Any help would be sincerely appreciated!

We have the same problems. In fact, I posted a message regarding the
matter.

However, I have managed to generate reports using RESULTS which come
with PROGRESS V8.03A. You can generate p code of forms, browses as
well as reports using RESULTS.

Perhaps you want to give it a try.
