ODBC Compliant Reporting Tools
For a flexible reporting facility users optionally purchase the
Transoft ODBC connector. This enables you to connect to the Chairman
systems' underlying database from any ODBC compliant windows software.
( eg. Crystal Reports, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel / Query
)
The following points assume using Crystal Reports & Transoft,
though many points are equally valid for most other ODBC enabled
packages.

and permanently stored

Flexibility

· Totalling and sub-totalling available in several combinations

in report

Create!Form Integration
Chairman can now offer Create!Form integration. This third-party
product enables you to create your own graphical forms, populate
them with live data from chairman reports and send them to a combination
of devices such as postscript printers, email or fax recipients.
For example rather than using the in-built chairman invoice format
and printing to pre-printed stationary you can easily and cheaply
create your own invoice stationary and merge the chairman invoice
print.
If you are interested in learning more about this product, or you
would like to see it in action, call Malcolm Wyatt on 01494 468711.
