Very new to WebFocus and using Developer's studio 5.3. We need to write a report that mimics the look of a web page where the users are answering a survey. The web page is as such

Question 1. Do you think ......

Yes
No

Question 2. What if .....

I agree
I disagree


I would like the report to list the results right after where the answers are. I am not a programmer and am looking to do this completely in the GUI tool if possible. Is there any type of selection that will allow me to choose this type of layout?

When you say 'mimic the look' , do you mean just that?...mimic? or do you need it to actually function as a form, collect answers to these questions, update some database, and then read that database back and display the aggregate updated results in a frame on the same page?
if B, its very straightforward for a developer to code, but i don't use the GUI.

I mean actually mimic. The webpage is already doing the collecting and put the data into the database. I just wanted the report to look as similiar as possible to the webpage for readability. I'm hoping to get up to speed on developing, but they sold this to us as a GUI tool and I haven't been able to convince the upper mgmt to let me take the programming class yet.

Hey Ginny

Is this web page alraedy built and sitting around someplace? maybe you don't have to make your own - you might be able to just sort of 'include' it by using heading text.

Play with it some in dev studio - try putting the question up in the heading, then putting the results below the heading in the body of the report.

I agree it would be nice to have it layed out the same way as the users are used to seeing it already, but remember that the main point of reporting is to get the data to the users. Better to get the report working, even if it's a little ugly, than spend a month trying to make it look perfect before your users can see anything.

Good luck!
