Report Genie

Report editor

When you create a new report, you can base it on Alpha Five data or data retrieved from an external ADO/ODBC compatible database. The design process has 2 alternatives. You can start with a blank report in the Report Editor, or use the Quick Report Genie to design a default form, then finish the report in the Report Editor.
