This question comes up in the REALbasic NUG and Forums a lot: "How do I print a report using REALbasic?" In my not so humble opinion this is the one big glaring hole in REALbasic that's keeping it from gaining a lot of market share. In the Windows world there are a couple of big solutions that every Visual Basic programmer can use but there's only one relatively decent reporting solution for REALbasic.

Today we are releasing part one of a tutorial on all the ways to print a database driven report in REALbasic. This tutorial is meant to be a starting point and isn't meant to be perfect code. It's meant to show people how to display a report on-screen and then to print it to the printer.

As we get time, we'll add some additional methods we've found over the years to help with printing. We'll eventually get to On-Target Reports and several other open-source ways of doing reports.

The REALbasic tutorials page is here.

If you have any suggestions and/or additional code you'd like to share with us please post comments in the forums.
