CrossTab.Edit in 6.01

rbuser

Is it possible to put a button on the Preview to call a cross-tab edit for
temporaere edit, if a crosstab is placed on the report?
if so, how could it be done? i found no doc to that feature.

Sorry, you'll have to move back into the design workspace tab in order to
edit the report in any way.

for what is the new announced features of crosstab.edit in 6.x?
Anyway, it would be great to give the nonepower enduser the possibility to
change crosstab directly from the preview without saving the report. Only to
change onthefly and to print.

The Crosstab.Edit method was added because there was no way to launch the
crosstab designer, other than choosing it from the popup menu on the
crosstab. Now, you can add a menu option in the designer to lauch the
crosstab designer for the crosstab that exists in the report.

I think your question is if we could build a fully editable preview, whereby
the user can change the output before it is printed, to correct spelling
mistakes or irregularities in the data..., without having to reenter the
data in the db to print the report that the boss needs 10 minutes ago.
We've had this on the todo list and would certainly be a cool feature.

Wow!
Hope you will have time enough to build in all that funny feature.
RB is the coolest product anyway, but you know: "the more you give, the more
the users wont"... :-))
