By default, the Data Grid can display a maximum of 5000
records. If your selected date range exceeds 5000 records, you
will only see 5000 records in the Data Grid with a note at the
bottom indicating “Max Records Exceeded”. In order to view all
of the records in your date range, you will need to use the Data
Grid’s property sheet to increase Max Records. (See
Customizing Your Report below for more information on using
property sheets to customize your report.)

NOTES

When using the QuickReports Setup window to edit the date
range for a report, you will lose any customization you have
done to chart traces. If you wish to maintain the customization,
you should edit the date range using the Report Range property
sheet.

9.3 Customizing Your Report

Once you have set up a report using the QuickReports Setup dialog box, you
can customize the report using each component’s property sheets. The
components on a report include the Report Range, Report Title, Report
Subtitle, Logo, Chart and Data Grid. A component’s property sheet can be
opened by double-clicking on the component, by right-clicking on the
component and selecting <Component Name> Properties or by choosing the
component from the Edit menu. For example, to edit the properties of the
chart, double-click on the chart, right-click on the chart and select Chart
Properties, or select Edit | Chart Properties from the QuickReports menu.

Press the ‘?’ button at the top right of a component’s property box to bring up
the online help about that component’s properties.

You can add traces to the chart using the Add button on the
Series tab of the Chart’s property sheet. Columns can be added
to the Data Grid using the Select Columns button on the Data
Grid’s property sheet.

NOTE

A component can be deleted from the report by right-clicking on the
component and selecting Delete <Component Name>. For example, to delete
the chart, right-click on the chart and select Delete Chart. Once a component
has been deleted, it can be restored to the report by selecting Edit | Undo from
the QuickReports menu.

Once a report has been closed, you will not be able to restore the
component.

NOTES

The Undo and Redo functions in QuickReports apply only to
deleting components.
