Major New Features in VisualRep 5.0

VisualRep 5.0 for VFP 9.0 includes the following important new functionality and enhancements:
  • Search capability within the report: Imagine you have 400 pages in a report and you need to find a category somewhere in the report, all it takes one click and you are there.
  • High resolution display: You can zoom up to 500%.
  • Show multiple pages: You can display up to 4 pages at the same time.
  • New status bar: You can now show a status bar while a report is generated so the user knows what's going on.
  • Improved report conversion: Conversion is much faster now to MS word, PDF, spread sheet, html and text mode. No need for Adobe Acrobat to be installed on the computer when generating report PDF files.
  • Move to any application while the main form is opened: The main form is no longer modal. A user can now move anywhere in an application while the main form is open.
  • New report pull down menu: Added pull down menu accessed right from the report to use different features, such as zoom, display multiple pages and more.
  • Limit the number of records in query: Added Advanced form within the query wizard to allow you to limit the number of records to be shown in the query, such as the Top 100 records or the Top 10%. That could be useful if you need to find, say, the top 5% of the sales reps that generated the most revenue.
  • Exclude duplicate records: Added a check mark in the advanced form to exclude duplicate records.
  • Bind expressions into a table: Added the capability to bind expressions into a table. If you select the Clients table, all expressions that were created for the table will be shown as regular fields.
  • Performance and Speed: Improved the main engine speed and performance.
  • Fixes and Enhancements: VisualRep 5.0 also includes many fixes and minor enhancements that make it a major step up from prior VisualRep versions.

Why VisualRep? Meeting ProMatrix and FoxPro User Demand

For years ProMatrix users were asking us to create a report writer and query tool that integrates with Visual ProMatrix. Some ProMatrix users expressed their dissatisfaction with the report writers currently available for Visual FoxPro and felt that we could create something better. However, other priorities prevented us from responding to user demand for a ProMatrix query and reporting tool.

Fortunately, while we were working on other things, a ProMatrix user was creating a query and reporting tool that provides the functionality ProMatrix users have been demanding and then some. That tool is VisualRep, created by Doron Farber of the Farber Consulting Group, Inc.

While we say that VisualRep is “the query and reporting tool for Visual ProMatrix”, the beauty of VisualRep is that it can be used with any Visual FoxPro application. It’s just that if you are using Visual ProMatrix, VisualRep is even more powerful.

Not Just for ProMatrix Users: You don't have to be a Visual ProMatrix user to use VisualRep. All Visual FoxPro developers using any VFP framework can benefit from VisualRep.

What Is VisualRep? Two Products in One

VisualRep is Two products in ONE! VisualRep is a query and reporting tool for both developers and end users.
  • Developers: VisualRep is a query and reporting framework that lets developers create and run queries and reports from within an application.
  •  End Users: VisualRep is also a stand-alone query and reporting application that can be run by end users from the computer desktop or from within an application.
Database Support: VisualRep can create and run queries and reports for the most popular databases, such as Visual FoxPro, Oracle, SQL Server and MS Access.
Data Dictionary Support: VisualRep supports the Visual ProMatrix, Visual FoxPro and DBCX data dictionaries. VisualRep reads metadata such as tables, relations, field names, field formats, captions, etc. from the supported data dictionaries.
Report Output Support: VisualRep can generate reports in all of the following output formats: Text, HTML, PDF, Word, Excel, XML and DBF.

VisualRep Benefits for Visual ProMatrix Users

VisualRep is a "killer" application for Visual ProMatrix users because of the unique features described below. No other query and reporting tool for Visual FoxPro provides these valuable features.
  • VPM Data Dictionary Support: All you need to do to start running reports and queries using the data in a VPM application is point VisualRep to the application's data dictionary. What's more, VisualRep will use the table and field properties that you have already entered in the VPM data dictionary (including table relations). This feature alone can save you hours of set up time.
  • VPM Security Support: The number one request related to reports and queries that we have received from ProMatrix users is for a query and reporting tool that uses VPM's extensive security features -- particularly, field level security. VisualRep is the only tool that satisfies that request. When you use VisualRep with VPM's Security, users will not be able to see fields in queries and reports that they do not have permission to view.
  • VPM Version/Edition Support: VisualRep can identify which edition and version of VPM you are running and configure itself to support the VPM data dictionary and security features for your VPM version/edition. Within a VPM application, VisualRep can detect the VPM version/edition used to create the application in order to support the application's data dictionary and security features.
