Welcome to DataFlex Reports

DataFlex Reports is a versatile tool designed for creating and delivering reports to end-users, power-users, and professional software developers.

  • Compatibility with ODBC Datasources

DataFlex Reports is compatible with various ODBC datasources, including Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, Oracle, MySQL, Pervasive SQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft Access, and the DataFlex embedded database.

  • Recommendation for ODBC Usage

The use of ODBC as the datasource is strongly advised, especially when reports are created for a DataFlex-based application that stores its data in an SQL environment (such as MS SQL Server).

  • Report Creation Wizard

DataFlex Reports includes a Report Creation Wizard that guides users through the entire process of creating a report. This includes selecting datasources, grouping, filtering, summarizing, and sorting information. The wizard provides a visual, drag-and-drop WYSIWYG interface for easy report creation.

  • Formatting and Functionality

DataFlex Reports offers a range of text formatting options (fonts, bold, italics, justification, etc.). It includes a rich library of string, logical, and math functions.

  • Development in DataFlex

DataFlex Reports is developed in DataFlex, which is a state-of-the-art software development tool from Data Access Worldwide.

  • Integration for DataFlex Developers

DataFlex Reports seamlessly integrates with DataFlex development environments. Developers can use a report integration wizard and library for integrating reports with applications created in the DataFlex Studio.

  • Deployment

For deployment, integrated reports in DataFlex Windows and Web applications require the installation of a single OCX (Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Control Extension). The distribution of integrated reports and the OCX is royalty-free with the Developer Edition of DataFlex Reports in Windows environments.
