- All I can speak for is the windows version and I agree with
- you that it's reporting is VERY limited. On the positive
- side of that there is a windows program called quick reports
- that is designed to be used in conjunction with objectvision
- to do reporting from dbase, paradox and btreive. I haven't had
- much chance to use it yet, but i does come with a DLL that can
- be called from objectvision and the manual does document the
- DLL functions for C and Objectvision and a few others I think.
- I think it would be possible to also call the DLL from the OS/2
- version of objectvision, but I don't have the OS/2 version yet to try.
- Any takers?
- Hope this helps.
