How create report from data access?

Post by sec »

I want to create report from db Access, so i am thinking about:
- task 1: access data from db Access (i know this can done in PB)
- task 2: Do some Filter on data (got from task1)
- task 3: Draw some charts (same as in Excel), and print to A4

Have you idea about how to do task 2, task3 in PB?

Thanks much.

There is RMCHART, but completely unsupported and dead - There's a few samples of using google's charting... the problem is understanding their licensing for your use...

I found rmchart difficult to get a grasp (steep learning curve) but once I "got it" it was easy sailing.
Google charting is pretty easy too...

There's even a couple of examples using using all pb code/objects -- If you're looking for a pre-made, that's not the way, AFAIK, know one has carried PB code to a "source code library" for easy charting...

Thanks jasing, Google chart is very nice!

I still need idea about 'print to A4' and filter.
