商品描述

Description:

Reports are key to a successful software application. It doesnt matter how efficiently the users can enter data, how much information the system can store or how many complicated calculations the system can process if theres no way to see the final outcome. In The Visual FoxPro Report Writer, Cathy Pountney tells you how to use every nook and cranny of the report writer, and even shows you how to do things you thought were up to now impossible. If youre serious about quality output from your VFP applications, you cant do without this book!
