Microsoft Word Report
By default, Iron Speed
Designer’s Application places a “Microsoft Word Report” button in Show Table
panels, such as is found on a Show Table page.
Exported
Data Rows
Only the rows in the currently displayed data
set are included in the Microsoft Word Report.
This is convenient for end-users who perform a search using the Search
control and wish to export only the data subset that matches the search.
Exported
Data Columns
The exported rows include all data fields displayed
in the associated table control; fields that are not displayed are not
exported. There are several caveats:
|
Column Type
|
Caveat
|
|
Date fields
|
Date fields are exported as per their
display format strings and will be exported as they are displayed in the Show
Table panel.
The default format is m/d/yyyy
|
|
Foreign key fields
|
Foreign key fields are exported
as shown in the table panel. If the
“display foreign key as” is set for the field, then the selected text field
will be exported instead of the underlying key value.
|
|
Password fields
|
Password fields are exported
as shown in the table panel.
|
|
Large text fields
|
Large text fields, such as the Memo field in
Microsoft Access and the nText data type in Microsoft SQL Server, are
exported as text strings.
|
|
Binary and image fields
|
Binary fields, such as
Image and BLOB's (binary large object), are not exported.
|
The column order in the exported file is the
same as the column order in the database table schema.
The exported data includes column headings in
the first row.
