Typically, scripting in Alpha Anywhere would require knowledge of its programming language Xbasic. However, with Action Scripting, you can program using logical steps or actions, rather than by writing code, reducing the need to learn Xbasic. In this lesson, you learn about creating Action Scripts and using them to automate and customize your database application.

Alpha Anywhere reporting allows you to selectively retrieve records from a table, order and group them, calculate group totals, and then print the resulting report, save it to a file, or send it to a remote user as an email attachment. Enterprise Reporting adds the ability to do all this with data that resides in an external ODBC compatible database.
