Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Existing reports

    I'm not a fan of re-inventing the wheel. Somewhere on the Inrternet is there place wherer fellow QReport users post already built reports?

    Re: Existing reports

    Well, not a single person responded after a couple of weeks. So let me ask it this way... if I were to build a portal to re-distribute reports, would you be willing to submit reports you created within the QReport community? (No committals here... I'm just trying to gauge interest.)

      Report sharing will be taken care of by the QReportBuilder site in the near future.

      Are you looking for reports to use, or to develop reports for others?

        To use. I think it's crazy we're all spending time re-creating the same reports. And I know for you, as developer, that stinks. :)

            Re: Existing reports

            I'm still having no luck with the sample reports. I see the compressed (zip) files and have downloaded a couple of those but there doesn't seem to be any way to import into Qreportbuilder. Qreportbuilder is looking for QRBR tagged files, there are no labelled this way inside the zip file. What am I missing?

              Re: Existing reports

              We just found that IE on XP is renaming the .QRBR files as .ZIP during the download process.

              Save the files as a .QRBR and then you can import them.

              Or use FireFox as a browser and it won't rename the files for you. (I didn't notice the problem since I usually use FF.)

              I don't know why IE thinks this is so 'smart'.

              The web site should have been changed to include a message about renaming. You may want to refresh to bypass the cached version in IE to see the message.

                Re: Existing reports

                Thanks for the quick response. OK tried that and did import the report definition, except got the following error message:

                In a5_qrb_genericFunction(): Variable "a5_qrb_import_report" not found

                But report is now on my preview and edit lists and seems to be working OK. Thanks.

                  You are welcome.

                  Yes that message comes up, but as you have found it is a false alarm - no harm. Just ignore it and you'll be fine. Hopefully it will be eliminated soon, but it's a cosmetic error...
