It sounds like you created your report with the PDF Printer assigned to it. You can open the report, select a printer other than the pdf printer and save it. ____You can also overwrite the printer in your control file, if you use one. Change the ri_printer with ?, which allows the user to use whatev...

Well, maybe not easily, but I do it all the time.____Anyway, say I have a customer databases and in that database I use a four position unique code for each customer along with their full company...

If the number field is multiple lengths; 1234.567 and 123.456 then you could do the following;____Pad the front end with as many characters that you may need then add the field to it left trim like; new_field = space(9-len(ltrim(str(<fieldname>,12,2))))+ltrim(str(<fieldname,12,3))____the new_field w...

Of course this may not make any since to you if you do not program in a dBas...

Does anyone monitor this site so that this stuff is removed.____One of these days you might get hit with thousands of posting all at once and this site would then be shut down....____This makes me very nervous and I...

You can also use substring such as substr(field_name,1,2) = "TM" or substr(field_name,1,3) = "TMF"____Since it looks like you want only part of the string to be in the filter, the substring would be best. Of course you could use a substring in a CASE filter as well.____Tom Freitas
