For Example: I was surprised when I created a report with date and time fields, that the time fields displayed as dates - but with EVERY row showing a value of [b]05/23/2020[/b] - today's date, for ALL records, so the BRW is not reporting those fields according to the dictionary Data Type. The Date field displays in the format mm/dd/yyyy. On page 35 of the documentation, it talks about "formatting a field according to its value", but the only example given is for changing the font based upon an If/Then comparison. Where is documentation on all of the formatting options? Why does BRW not display a field according to its dictionary Data Type? Another Example: I want to create the equivalent of the R/list statement "Break-on [fieldname}". I imagine that this is done in the Group Header sections. Page 18 shows an example of Grouping data in a Group Header, but does not show how to do it. The On-line Help in the BRW Designer gives a "File not found (404)" error.
