Two newbie questions

Ruby
1

practical ruby here @ work means access to M$ACCESS97 and Hardcopy
reports with column headings etc…so…
i’ve search with this forum with the Keyword: ACCESS and have searched
all of my Ruby PDF’s
How does one access M$ACCESS thru DBI?..
How does one print a report to the printer? RUPORT maybe?? but i don’t
see any examples?

  1. from the page seems DBD::ADO or DBD::ODBC are appropriate. Try to
    download and read the docs that are supposed to be there, even reading
    sources is quite useful :wink: I’ve found that ruby sources tend to be
    quite readable (except for code-golfing :wink:

  2. try: http://ruby-pdf.rubyforge.org/pdf-writer/

Disclaimer: I haven’t tried anything from above :wink:
