MetaReport Developer Kit 2.6.1
MetaReport Developer Kit - MetaReport is a report building tool that can use multiple data sources of various formats (Access,
dBase, Paradox, MS SQL, Oracle, InterBase and others) to create reports. Since most companies use
different databases (Access for office, SQL for web and Oracle for inventory tracking, for
example), the usefulness of this software is apparent to any person who worked in the database
management field.
First, the program uses ADO and BDE to build reports, but does not
requires having BDE installed.
Second, the program can be used inside third-party
applications by using a built-in ActiveX object.
Third, various data parameters can be
specified without having to alter the report itself.
And last, user can choose from several
popular report formats - from simple TXT or CSV to WMF, XLS, HTML, RTF, PDF.
MetaReport Developer Kit contains MetaReport - powerful report designer, and MetaReportRuntime -
redistributable runtime module. Software developers can include MetaReportRuntime into own projects
as a report module.
MetaReportRuntime uses the same report engine as MetaReport and serves
for launching existing database reports. Installation copy contain examples on VB and Delphi.
All in all, MetaReport is a budget solution that is a fortunate combination of
straightforwardness, added value and functionality.
