Stonefield Query for AccountMate Version 7.2

We are pleased to announce the release of version 7.2 of Stonefield Query for AccountMate. There are lots of new features in this release.

• A new script is available for reports in the Customize Report Wizard: BeforeOutput. This script allows you to change output settings for the report before it's output to file or email.

• If a subreport has an ask-at-runtime filter condition that matches a filter condition in the main report, the value of that filter condition for the main report is used for the subreport and you are no longer prompted for the value (similar to the way this works for linked reports).

• Cross-tab reports can now have a page field, which appears in the page header and causes a page break when its value changes.

• You can now specify the number of points per page in a chart that's part of a quick or cross-tab report.

• You can now specify whether the Y-axis scale of a chart is determined automatically and, if not, what the minimum and maximum values are.

• Gauges are now centered in their preview window.

• The Scheduled Tasks dialog has a Diagnostic button that displays the content of the most recent diagnostic file for the selected task.

• You can now append to an existing Microsoft Excel document when outputting to Excel full format.

• You can now specify whether an Excel document has gridlines.

• You can now choose the merge type, Letter or Directory, when outputting to Microsoft Word Merge. This affects where pages break in the generated Word documents.

• The new Shadowed setting allow you to specify whether the data shapes in bar, column, pie, and donut charts are shadowed.

• A chart in a quick or cross-tab report can now be different than the main report. For example, a cross-tab with Country in the row, Order Date (displayed as Year) in the column, and Sales Amount in the data can have a chart has Order Date (displayed as Quarter) as the x-axis and Sales Amount as the Y-axis (that is, Country isn't used in the chart).

• You can now turn on Subtotal on This Field for a date field formatted as an aggregate date (such as Quarter or Year) in the rows of a cross-tab report.

• You can now create a template that displays only the page header rather than both the page header and report filter.

• You can now press Enter to add a line break in the Expression Builder for report headers and footers, the message of an email, and the Customize Report Wizard.

• The Expression Builder button is now available for the custom description of a filter condition.

• In the Expression Builder, clicking the Values button to display the Values dialog and selecting a value now inserts that value into the expression.

• You can now use loReport.GetReportHeader(.T.) in a report template to display the page header without the report filter.

• If you import a template with the same name as an existing one, you're asked if you want the imported template to overwrite the existing one or be imported with a new name.

• The last page of the Formatting Options step in the Chart Wizard is now labelled "Other" because it contains other settings.

• You can no longer use the Edit Chart button for a chart that's part of a quick or cross-tab report because it doesn't work properly.

• You can no longer use the Print Preview function in the Advanced Report Designer since it isn't reliable.
