 Training

DataFlex Reports Training – Vincent

DataFlex Reports is the default reporting engine for DataFlex applications. Reports can be executed stand-alone in the DataFlex Reports Studio, or seamlessly integrated in a Windows or Web application. This training focuses on integration of reports based on SQL, Runtime Data Sources (RDS) as well as the embedded database. Learn how to control the output to screen and several export formats in a DataFlex application.

“Drive-In” Discussions – Vincent & Stephen

During Drive-In support days in Europe, developers meet as a group and every participant can add questions or topics to the list of items that can be discussed. At DAPCon we will use the Drive-In style in a similar fashion and do our best to cover a combination of questions you might have raised during or prior to the conference. If you already have areas of the product you know you would like to see discussed, please send them to use ahead of time so we can prioritize areas of common interest.

We’re looking forward seeing you in Sydney!!
