DataFlex Reports 7.0 RC Released

We are pleased to announce the availability of DataFlex Reports 2019 (v7.0) Release Candidate.

This version of DataFlex Reports uses a v7.0 license code or runs for 60 days in evaluation mode. DataFlex Reports license holders receive the license code short after the final release via their sales representative. 

DataFlex Reports v7 runs side-by-side with older versions. Note that saving the report definition file (.dr) with v7 makes it not accessible with v6.2 or older anymore.

The two main features for v7 are:

• Edit of report layout during preview
• Support - per report - of the Windows locale

New Installer

DataFlex Reports uses our new modern product installer. The layout is restyled, it is 64 bit ready, uses MSI techniques. Please report any anomalies found.
