Copying a Report
Jan 25th, 2005 at 11:58pm
Print Post Print Post  
Due to the new features of 1.1 I was able to create a year-to-date payroll report with all the "lovely" underlined sub-totals and grand totals. Now, is it possible to copy this report for use in lets say my payroll report for 2004 in another application. Obviously, I am trying to avoid all the work of setting up the newly designed report in another application.

hi peter,

not sure if you're still looking for the answer to this, but if you are in designer and go to manage a database, manage layouts, and then you can copy it.

Hi Ms. Doo,
Thanks for your suggestion. This part of Sesame reports I was aware of, it was the possibliity of copying the programming for let's say Report "A" and using it in another similar but totally different application. Just laziness on my part but some of the reports involve alot of programming and I got them to work through trial and error.

Peter,

You can export your programming to a file. Then you can import or cut-and-paste from it for your other reports.
