Application to View XLS Reports Field in the Report Session Wizard

The Application to View XLS Reports field specifies the full pathname to the application that will be launched when viewing XLS output of finished reports. The report displays in the application's document window, and may be printed or saved in the application.

In the Application to View XLS Reports field, type a full pathname to the application's executable file, or use the Select File gadget to select the pathname.

On Windows systems, no default pathname is delivered. You need to specify a pathname to a spreadsheet application installed on your system, such as Microsoft Excel.

On Macintosh systems, no default pathname is delivered. You need to specify a pathname to a spreadsheet application installed on your system, such as Numbers.

The full pathname to the application’s executable file must be specified.

You must choose an application that creates its own window before printing the finished report. Finished reports cannot be viewed or printed successfully with applications that do not create a separate window to display the report results.
