Automate Generating Reports

Vinni, on second thought I think I missed your request, my bad, what exactly should I try? Curious. Would this be something that would constantly run in the background or run 'on demand'? Expand a little more on what you would like to achieve so that I can start creating.

Are you talking about the TP tolerance after bonus has been applied for example:

callout:
Ø.500 +.005 / -.001
|POS|Ø.010(M)|A|B|C|

actual:
.502
.011

DP will not update POS Ø.010(M) to .013?

Yes.

When DataPage imports an XML, there are some values that are hidden and cannot be changed. One of them is for when you select the option to "Use calculated bonus tolerance" (or something to that effect). But, in the variables there are values like DF.B and TP.B. If you change those values, the calculated bonus tolerance doesn't change. So, the report will still show a TP of, for example, 1.100, for a 1.000 TP plus 0.100 bonus from feature. So, change the DF.B and TP.B to something like 0.200 and the calculated TP on the report is still 1.100.

The value used is hidden, somewhere, that the DP front end cannot edit.

So, i was just curious, before downloading, installing and spending any time looking, if I could use your experience. If it's possible, that would be a huge boon. Instead of having to delete transactions, and modify the XML file, and re-import the files, I could just open the Visual Studio, modify it, and go back to DP and be done.
