Reports General

Posted on by Pete Alberts 3,542

I am busy with only my third report and have some general questions (links welcome).

1) For a portrait A4 design: Is there an exact allowable width so that it fits on export to PDF? Previously I just used 20cm (one less than 21cm of the actual paper width).

And for some reason the one report I wrote still does not fit on one PDF A4 (by width). But when exported to Word and then exported to PDF from word file, it fits.

2) Is it necessary to create a TempDB table for the data? If table X and table Y are used in the report, I follow this procedure: Create TempDB tables XTemp and YTemp >> Populate them in DP class >> use in report. Why won't simple table buffers of the original tables work?

3) Any good sites on creating reports?

Thanks for reading

    Thanks man, I'll read it in depth - for now I just glanced through.

    On one of the pages: "A table can be a temporary table (InMemory or TempDB) or a regular table, but it is Microsoft best practice to use a temporary table." So am I correct to say that a normal table buffer will work? (It's just a best practice to use TempDB.)

    And you don't maybe know anything about the exact allowable width I mentioned previously?
