Hi guys,
I have written a small app with an invoice report in it. I have worked
out how to add an image from a path specified in a table, and how to
change its size.
I want to deploy this app as and MDE which means that users won't be
able to modify the report layout directly in access. I am thinking of
providing a means of setting the height, width, top, left and font size
of all elements on the report but don't really want to be coding forms
and tables to hold all this information.
Is is possible to extract all of the objects into an array, create a
table with the report name, object name and properties and then put
these into a grid view for the user to modify.
When I run the report I cnan then use the on format event to get the
array and for each element look up the correct formatting instructions.
With some 40 fields on the report, what is the likely overhead on
printing.
Thanks in advance
