pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT4 Aug 2015 12:22:00 Z3 Aug 2015 02:24:00 ZI have a requirement to provide the end-user with the ability to format a report layout (i.e. to move / position fields for pre-printed stationery and/or various pdf background images.) The report is driven by an HFSQL query. The end-user needs to create a template by moving fields and labels to suit specific requirements. Is this easily achieved using "Reports & Queries" (I have never used this yet) - or is there a simpler approach with WinDev that I have overlooked. Any advice greatly appreciated :)30WEBDEVen_UShttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/53359-wd19-advice-sought-end-user-report-quottemplatesquot/read.awpmoderateur@pcsoft.fr (El moderador)webmaster@pcsoft.fr (El webmaster)guestpcsoft.us.windevhttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/53359-wd19-advice-sought-end-user-report-quottemplatesquot-53398/read.awp4 Aug 2015 12:22:00 ZHi Allard Thanks for the feedback.
