    Default What's cooking for the next DataFlex Reports version?

    Better Excel export perhaps?

    I just completed a 6hrs rewritte of a crystal report to dataflex report and all ended up with a problem of format...

    This is Crystal:

    Can you format the cell so they have no border?

    My customer refuses to use the new report because of this. And I agree with him!

    I'm no Excel user by any means, but playing around with the exported DR file, if I select the entire report and:

    1.) Format Cells, then click on Border and click None.
    2.) Go to View and uncheck the Grid Lines checkbox

    This way I can end up with the same result that produces Crystal.

    Can DR (in a future release) do this? Or even better, right now?

    After more digging....

    Is DR specifically setting the borders on every single cell? It seems it does! Why?

    Just by turning it to None it will make my life so much easier with my users. Turn the borders off please. Or at least, if there is a way right now can you tell me how to do it?

    Pfff...
