<QUOTE>
Could someone please enlighten me as to the method I would use to save  a report created in Easy Writer in the "money" portion of AREV. The lady here in charge of donations needed a special report created for 1998. I have created her report and it is saved in the library. However, she would like to have it under her money/gift reports menu. Anyone out there know how to do this? I have only been acquainted with AREV for two weeks.



Thanks!

<QUOTE>Penny,



I'm assuming you're new to this game, so here's a step-by-step method that should work.



To include your library report in a menu:



1) Get the command that generates your report. From the Command line (by pressing ), type:

     

     EDIT REPORTS RLIST*reportname



Line#17 of the edit screen contains the command. Move the cursor to that line and press  to cut it to the clipboard.



2) Get to the Application/Define/Menu Make Menu screen and use the Table Name MENUS.  With the cursor in the Menu Names column, press  to get a list of menus and pick the one you want.



3) Add the new Selection and Description. Press  for help if you haven't done this before. 



4)The Code value is 'E'.



5) With the cursor in the Command column, press  to paste the command.



6) Press  to save the changes.

<QUOTE>Method 1:



Rather than entering the whole command in the menu it is more

appropriate to create a new command that includes the copied report

details. You would then enter the command in the menu.



This assumes that you have access to the F5 Command key in your

application.



To create a new command simply use the F5 function key to create a

command window then type EDIT VOC 'reportname' and enter.



The top line of the command needs to be TCL then enter to the second line.



Ctrl-F4 will bring the copied report command into the screen.



Save this with F9 then escape.



In your menu still use E in the code and type the 'reportname' as the

command.



Method 2:



First execute the report from the Library then escape out of the report

writer.



Use the F5 function key to display the Command Window.



Next use Shift-F1 to display a simple command creation screen.



Use F2 Search and you will see the report on the top line - select it

then F9 to bring it into the window. Enter down to the next field and

give it a name.



Save this with F9 and it is an executable command that you may then

add to any menu as before.





Hope these methods help.
