Sorry Dan, I should learn to read the question before posting a reply

Anyway, I really like having the reviews displayed in the preview pane... so thanks for giving me the idea!

cheers, Les

I tried, but I am getting nowhere. The two reports I would like the have my reviews under thumbnails are 96x96 pixels Cover2.rpt, and Cover.rpt. I would like to reports in both those sizes.

Thanx

Dan

Dan,
I'm going to post my suggestion since it can be helpful for others too, but if you need your reports earlier, please just tell me where I have to send them.
Take care !

Please send to bemsu@aol.com

Thanks

Dan

Ciao Dan,

just sent them. Please let me know if they work fine. Thanks.

Take care

OK, Dan, I'm back....

Please follow these steps:

Report > Report Designer > File > Open
Locate your Report ( it's in the "Album" folder and it's named "Cover.rpt"
Now you have to Save it with a New name and in a different folder so you won't overwrite it when updating CATraxx..
File > Save As
Go UP one folder level so you are in the main "Reports" folder
CREATE a new folder: Right-click > New > Folder or press the "Create New Folder" button
Name you folder, in example "X-Custom Reports" and enter it: the "X-" in front will be useful to display this folder at the bottom of your Reports' List.
You still have "Cover.rpt" displaying in the Filename field, so simply RENAME it say "Cover+Reviews.rpt" and press the "Save" button.
Now you are again in the Report Designer and you can see in the higher Status Bar that you are working in your new "Cover+Reviews" report...
Now you have to modify the original Report...
Click on the "Album.Tracks" box in the "Detail" band and then press CTRL+Del : it disappears, correct ?
Now...
TIP : passing the mouse on the buttons' icons let you see their names and "suppose" their functions, like in Windows standards...

Press the "DBField" button, it's immediately at right of the "Abc" text button and then click WHERE YOU DELETED THE PREVIOUS "Album.Tracks" box
It appears the "Choose Fields" selection window: locate and select the "Album.Memo.Reviews" field.
Move and resize it to fit all the available free space by dragging the Black square points.
Now, since the Review field does not have a fixed lenght ( you can have long or short Reviews ), you must tell CATraxx to allow printing the complete text anyway without cutting it, so
Right-click the new box you just resized, choose "Properties" from the appearing menu, FLAG the " Stretch " check box and finally press OK.
You're done. Try to see if it works fine by pressing the standard Preview button ( white paper sheet & lens )..

TIP : if you hold down CTRL while you press the Preview button, you preview / print ONLY one page. It is useful, above all when Printing because you can check if everything works fine without printing/preview all your pages...
If all is fine, close the preview Window, save the Report and exit:

Please repeat all steps for the "Cover (96x96 pixels)" report and rename it as you need.

Now it can be useful adding your new Report(s) to the Main Report Menu...

Open the Help File and locate:
Tutorial > Lesson 5: Working with Reports > Modifying the contents of the Report menu

Does it help ? If you need further help, please just ask !

Have a nice day & take care

They work great thank you.

Dan
