5. Add a button with caption View Report with the following script for
launching an associated viewer:
ViewReport("C:\coffee\report.txt")
6. Add a button with caption Edit Report with the following script for loading

7. Add a 'Close' button with an animation to close the page.
8. Open Main page and add an animation to the "Report Generation" button
to display the new page called Report.
Creating HTML reports:
1. Create a file in the project directory called source.htm with the template
text. If using Word or more powerful html editor, feel free to experiment
with different fonts, font sizes and colours etc.
2. Add 3 buttons to Generate, View and Edit the report as per the text
example.
We will add the facility to write the ingredients used to a standard database,
and add a page to read through records previously written. First we must
create the database template using Microsoft Access. Please consult your
Microsoft documentation for full details of these operations. If you do not have
Microsoft Access, you can still read and write Access files from CX-Supervisor
but you will need to copy a database file from the demo folder to use as a
template. Alternatively you can use any other ADO compatible data source,
with suitable changes to the connection details.
