AfterReport

Code that executes immediately after the report is run, see MaxBasic.

BalancePeriodFirst

BalancePeriodLast

Financial report balances are limited to prior, current and next year balances, relative to the report period. To access balances outside this range, set the Balance Period First and Balance Period Last. These are global variables, so will apply to all financial reports.

BeforeReport

Code that executes immediately before the report is run, see MaxBasic.

Comment

You can enter documentation or comments with no effect on the generation of the report.

Font

Determines the font of the printed output. Click Open Font Dialog (F2) to select the font, style, size and characteristics. The purpose of setting a font for a report is that all bands that have the ParentFont property set to True will use the reports font. This saves having to individually set the font for each band (and ultimately each component on each band). You can change the font by clicking the font buttons on the toolbar.

MarginBottom MarginLeft MarginRight MarginTop

Set margins for the report (millimetres). The margins are shown in the Design Window as red dashed lines. You can place components outside the margins and they will print if within the printable area of the printer. Margins are useful for aligning components using right-click. If the margins are outside the printable area, they appear in the Design Window at the maximum printable area for the printer.

Orientation

Select doPortrait or doLandscape for portrait or landscape orientation.

Report.Orientation property can be set from BeforeReport code allowing you to switch between Portrait and Landscape on the fly.

Report.Orientation = 0 gives Portrait
Report.Orientation = 1 gives Landscape

Page

To set the page size for this report design, click Open Page Setup (F2). Set a value other than the Default Paper Size when designing reports to print on non-standard size pre-printed forms, for example, 8½" continuous invoice forms. When the report is run, Accredo will attempt to select the required paper size - if the printer being used has support for that paper size (it may not if the report is run on a different printer from the one used at design time).

ReportTitle

Click Open Narrative Editor (F2) to enter the report title. This value is accessible using the MaxBasic ReportTitle function.

ReportVersion

Shows the report version number.

ShortName

A filename to be used as the default filename or worksheet when the printing destination is Disk File or Excel Worksheet.

Lists users with access to the report. See Report Designer - User List.
