EP: Report problem : Report is pressed together

peterke1974

Hello,

I have a problem with printing reports.
The layout is pressed together.
Fields, which are for example 5cm long in Navision, are pressed together just as long as the data in the field is. The consequence is that every field is printed reight behind the previous one. For numeric field is that very
When I print the report in Navision, everything looks fine.

Is there a solution for this problem?

Try to save the report as HTML in Navision. You should get the same result in EP as save as HTML in Navision. Save as HTML does changed the layout compared to printing the report from Navision. You will probably have to re-design your report for it to work nicely in EP and as a HTML report.

I use 4.0 SP2

Saving as html also works fine. The fields are the normal length.
Just in the employee portal, everything is pressed together.

Hi,

is it only pressed together in the window you see? Have you already printed the report?

EP is using the function SAVEASXML of the report, which is generating the same output as SAVEASHTML used in Navision.
As long as there is no additional style sheet used in EP, the HTML is the same when using NAV AND EP.

Perhaps you can try the following:
- Run the report from EP and save the generated HTML from the browser
- Run the report over code in NAV and use the SAVEASHTML function to store the generated HTML on your local disk

Compare these two files, they should be nearly identical.

You may also send me the files if possible, so that i can do a comparisson.

HTH,
Rainer

Hello,

The problem was indeed the stylesheet that was selected.
We solved the problem by changing the .css file.
Now everything works fine.
Thanks.
