There are also some special aspects to the control of the Result__Set Browser that are related to this ability.____1) Control of records __- The RSB window will contain the records that correspond to the band selected from the__"Export" menu option, "xBase" export type. For example, if one selects the "Record" band in this dialog__box (the default choice), R&R will fill the RSB window with every record in the __composite database. __If, however, one selects the "Summary" band, the RSB window will contain just the LAST __record of the composite database, which would always include the full value for grand__totals.__Selection of one of the group footer bands will present the last record of each group,__with full group totals, grouping values and other field values as of that last record.____2) Selected RSB band within layout__- For the RSB window to contain ANY records, the band selected for export must have at__least one line for the corresponding band in the layout. If one is not present in the __layout, simply add one for the band selected. __The record band can be suppressed using the icon on the formatting icon bar;__ other bands can be suppressed with line logic, or just left blank for spacing.____In future releases, we will add a dialog box to execute upon select of RSB to select__the band for placement in the RSB window.____RSB has several advantages over other methods of "drill-down": ____1) ALL data fields in the report are included at all levels. ____2) The definition of fields is automatic; no separate drill-down definition is required. ____3) The RSB window allows you to shift the position of the columns at will, placing key__fields next to each other based on a variety of contexts.____4) The RSB window can remain open while other activities are performed in R&R.__The window can also be sized and placed adjacent to the R&R Report Designer window__or the Print Preview window.____5) You can save the contents of the Result Set Browser to either a DBF database or__to an XL5 Excel worksheet.______SUPPORT__If you have any questions regarding this update, please contact:__Liveware Technical Support__telephone:_800-325-9035__email:__livesupport@livewarepub.com________
