    a Question about Free text in a report.

    hello i have a alarm data base
    i also have a query that sums all the same alarms from the same places
    and it all goes to a nice report. but once the report is made i need to put free text near every alarm . after the query. what's the correct way to do that?

    Best regards!

    E.G
    i have alarm from market #1 control #1 and the alarm type
    the last week i had the same alarm 5 times

    so the query has another column that shows the number of times .
    and now lets say i want to write in another text box in the report - "need to call an engeneer " - and than i want it to save the reports with the text addons i made to it?!

    Hi -

    You cannot save a report, unless you save it as a snapshot image, or .pdf file, or some other format. If want to save the "free text" ( what exactly do you mean by that?), you have to save it as part of your data.

    How is the text going to be created? Do you want to type it in, based on your knowledge of the situation, or will it be "standard" text derived from the values in the report?

    Can you clarify just what it is you need to do, please?

    John

    i want to type it myself , it could be anything . (that's also what i meant in "Free Text") it's just translated as a phrase from my language. Sorry. :-D
