[GNC] REPORT CONFIGURATION

[davidbrown.rdps at photos.bozeat.biz]

Thank you Adrien for your prompt response and agree with your comments
regarding a "sprucing up".

I'll have a look at the re-defining of a sheet and work it through.

It is quite difficult to find in the first instance as would perhaps be
better to add that to the general options tab for the report.

Anyway .... sorted for me ...

Thank you...

Kind regards

David

You can define (add) style sheets for each special instance and tie them to
a saved configuration.

You can also achieve some of the same results using the General Tab of most
reports with or without involving saved configurations. (thus the rest of
the style sheet stays the same)

You can also export to a spreadsheet and modify from there, with various
spreadsheet templates and built-in styles.

Perhaps the General options for reports (and the style sheet options) could
use some sprucing up. As style sheets should *not* affect content, but
*only* presentation.

I think what you are seeing is that some style sheet options were added to
compensate for lack of options in some reports as that was easier to code.
This is not the best approach in my opinion.

Regards,
Adrien
