50.1.1 The LatiReporter is a custom database which attaches data from Latidata.mdb that you can use to develop your own 'custom' reports (supports Latitude Professional Edition only).

 

LatiReporter replaces the old custom database. The LatiReporter has updated screens that are easier to use. It also has links to Microsoft Tutorials that help you create your reports.

 

50.1.2 Update your old Custom.mdb database

 

If you are one of those that are using the old "Custom Database" and want to update to the latest, send us your "Custom Database" and we will convert them for you.

 

If you only need to get the new tables to attached in your "Custom Database", just run it through Latitude and the new tables will automatically appear when LatiReporter is loaded.

 

50.1.3 Create Reports

 

Any of your staff that are familiar with creating reports using Microsoft Access will find it easy to develop queries and reports to be added to the Switchboard

 

Your other staff can then run the LatiReporter.mdb and use your Custom reports via the switchboard

 

50.1.4 Help with building reports is not covered by Latitude support but help is available online. You can visit the following Microsoft Links for more information:
