The error thrown when deleting the <Run Date> text box is not a bug. If you take a look at how that text box functions you will notice there is no data field associated with it. Looking in the code section you will find a snippet of code that reads:

Code:

Sub PageFooter1_Format Dim dt As new Date ReportUtilities.SetTextBoxValue(rpt, "PageFooter1","txtRunDate", dt.Today.ToString("d")) End Sub

It is this code that makes the date appear and it is this code that gets the reporting engine all in a huff when you delete it. Just comment this out and you are good to go.

Wouldn't that constitute a bug?

I am getting ready to start all of our custom reports. By just modifying this one item has given me plenty of insight and I appreciate all your help.

-Thanks.

A bug is when something doesn't work right. This actually doing exactly what is supposed to except telling you that when you delete the text box you are breaking the code...

It is exciting when this stuff starts making some sense. Active Reports is particularly confusing for folks who are used to Access or Crystal Reports. Most of the time you can make things work without writing code on the backend. Definitely a different approach... but powerful.

long long time ago, i learned some xml when i was web design/ programming, so i think it should help since this seems to be the code for active. so far my only turn off is the wysiwyg interface. trying line up text and graphics seems to be difficult for me at the moment. maybe with a little experience i can come to like it.

Thanks.

All,
I should have read this post more closely rather than just answer the question. I want to clarify that our stock "Install Price" Proposals in SI5.5 do not include tax with each line item price. The field does however total: Unit Price, Misc Parts, Equipment Adjustments, and Labor.

We understand that some users might not want to show Labor pricing in the Project Summary section so we created Proposal reports that you can download from here that accomplish this. Third link in the list, named "Proposal (Install Price)".

You are absolutely right fryeguy, I misspoke by calling this a bug. Our devo team confirmed your solution for this.
