Reports menu

Menu Item Description
Printer To have the reports sent directly to the printer without previewing.
Screen To have the reports displayed on screen.
Text File To have the reports saved to a comma delimited text file.
Note: You can choose between a simple text file (.txt) or a comma-separated value files (.csv). This is the only option that does not use the other user-selected report styles. One font is used for all sections of the report and all formatting is removed. However, commas are in place to separate table columns so that the file can be imported into a spreadsheet program.
Viewer File To have the reports saved to the report viewer file format.
Note: Reports are saved to the Virtual Print Engine file format (.vpe). These files can only be opened with vpeview.exe, which is distributed with the RAM Structural System and installed in the same directory as the program executables. This format allows reports to be saved and later viewed on-screen outside the RAM Structural System.
