Express Technology provides the most
powerful reporting tool in the industry free with our software. It
is your data and the Express Report Builder gives you the power
and control to extract and generate reports the way you want and when
you need it.
All
Express Technology applications include a comprehensive list of reports
pre-designed and ready to run. Each report was developed
using the Express Report Builder. Each application
includes the Report Builder built-in. This means you can
create new reports and alter existing reports as desired. The Report
Builder includes a complete on-line help system for quick
reference as well as an interactive leaning tutorial to help you
get the most of
this powerful tool.

With
105 predefined reports one might question the need for a report Builder but we believe you should get that report just exactly like you
want it. With the Express Report Builder users can link tables,
define searches and sorts as well as use drag and drop functions to
completely layout reports. And since all existing reports were written
with the Report Builder you can start from one of the existing reports
and simply make changes or start from scratch.
Advanced Calculations (RAP)
Report
Builder includes the powerful RAP feature that provides users with the
ability to perform advanced calculations within a report. Report
Application Pascal, or RAP, allows developers and end users to code
calculations and complex event handlers at run-time. For details
on RAP including how to turn the feature on / off, see the
RAP Tech Bulletin - Click Here.
Note, you must be running version 5.5.1.26 or later to have implement
this feature.
Several tools are available for
