I've searched the forums, but haven't come up with a way to do this. This is
what I want to do:
1. Pull records from an Oracle database into a datagrid on a winform.
2. Select one of those records, and then have a button on the winform
generate a document (a letter that is 4 pages in length, and includes text,
and tables).
3. After, or during the generation of the letter, save a copy of the letter
off someplace on a server.
This is what I've done (all in C# by the way):
1. Pull records from an oracle database into a dataset that fills a datagrid
on a winform.
2. There is a button on the form that generates a letter using a Crystal
Reports file converted to a web service. I'm using the version of Crystal
Reports embedded into VS.NET 2003 Pro.
For those who don't know, Crystal Reports allows you to create a document
fed from a datasource (databse, XML file, etc.). The limitation of Crystal
is its cludgy integration with databases. It doesn't keep database login
information reliably, so you sometimes have to supply login info after
launching the form.
My limitation is that I cannot buy a third-party product (Aspose, Data
Dynamics, etc) because of budgetary constraints.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated. I'm at wits end, here.

why not use ADO.net, DataSet to create your crystal report, it will save
your user name and password in code. http://support.crystaldecisions.com/...etdatasets.pdf

I have been using gettext and various utilities to provide
internationalization for a wxPython application and have not really been
liking the process. Essentially it uses a macro-style notation to
indicate which strings should be internationalized.
Essentially, everything looks like this
_("STRING")
A good description of this system is located here

Hi, I have an report in Microsoft Access and it displays everything in
the table. One column called "DECISION" in the table has either 1,2,
or 3 in it. On my report it displays 1, 2, or 3. I want to appear in
the report is Yes, No, or Maybe. What do I need to do to change what
appears in the report/what term do I need to search out in Google?
Thank you

Hi,
Having searched for a way to fetch a window object by name, all I came
across were answers along the line of...
"All you have to do is say windowObj = window.open("blah", "name");"
which isn't very useful if you want to fetch information from an
existing document in the window.
One solution I came up with was quite simple; open the "new" window,
giving you a reference to the object, then use window.history.back() to

Hi all,
I looked to the PEPs & didn't find a proposition to remove brackets &
commas for to make Python func call syntax caml- or tcl- like: instead
of
result = myfun(param1, myfun2(param5, param8), param3)
just make possible using
result = myfun param1 (myfun2 param5 param8) param3
it would reduce length of code lines and make them more readable, + no
needs to write annoing charecters.
