Copying a Report to Another Database

If you would like to copy a report to another database, it is important to understand that a report is not attached to a database. It is attached to a table. The source and destination databases must have tables with the same field names and definitions.

Archiving a Report

Alpha Anywhere lets you create archive copies of your reports. For example, if you generate end of the month statements using Alpha Anywhere and create archive copies of the statements, you can go back and look at the statements for a particular month at any time. To archive a report, right-click on a Report, and select Archive.
