Is R&R Report Writer part of MOM?No, R&R Report Writer is a separate program that was originally produced by Concentric Data Systems and is now distributed through Liveware Publishing. Do I have to use R&R Report Writer to get report data from MOM?No. MOM has standard reports for inventory, accounting, tax, and profit analysis, among others. But those who need reports tailored to their particular requirements must use a report generator such as R&R, Crystal Reports, and other similar programs. Or we can write you custom reporting programs in Visual FoxPro that provide some reports that R&R cannot. Is R&R easy to use? What skills are required to program custom reports for MOM using R&R?Using R&R and programming in R&R are two different things. Programming custom reports in Report Writer requires a basic understanding of:
R&R Report Writer is easy to use once the report is programmed to your specifications. But learning to program in this report writing language does take a bit of patience. Those who are interested in learning how to do so should check out our handy Learn R&R Report Writer course. However, because R&R is essentially a programming language, MOM users who are accustomed to MOM's friendly, logical interface often are startled to discover the effort required to program in R&R. So they are usually happy to find that we've already done the work for them. You can choose from our selection of unique reports pre-programmed for MOM users, or fax us with the specification of any new report you need, and we'll create one from scratch just for you. How can I get custom reports created in R&R for my company?

To see the reports available in 13 different categories, click here. What are Input Engines?Input engines are special little programs that give you the opportunity to enter data specifics for your report. To change the date range for, say, a sales report, you could change the query in the report template...or we can provide you with an Input Engine for the report. When this file (it has the same name as the report, except it has an RRS extension instead of a RRW extension) is run instead of the template, a little dialog box pops up that lets you input the date range for the report. This takes less time than changing the query, plus it lets less experienced computer users run the report more easily. Input engines are $25/report, and must be requested from us directly. I have the DOS version of MOM. Will these reports work for me?Not directly. The DOS version of MOM relies on a different kind of table/index than the Windows version. But we can alter any of these reports to read the DOS kind of tables; you would just need to pay the customization fee. Does Axton Enterprises provide on-site MOM-R&R Training?No longer, except under special circumstances. |
