Clarion Report ,MM to Thous converter

Below is a link to a small utility I developed to take a Clarion Report structure that is set to use millimetre settings, and convert it to one using THOUS measurements.

update: 2009-10-20  You do not need this utility if you are in the Report Designer within the Clarion IDE. Just select the Report Properties and switch from MM to THOUS there, and all your report settings will be automatically converted to Thousandths of an inch. (Wish I had know this a few years ago!)

 

This was needed as I had several reports designed for paper:A4 and the default template generated the reports to use MM measurements. MMs restrict the accuracy of field placement to within 1 mm. 

 

Thousandths of an inch are much more accurate.

After conversion, you may still need to adjust any LEFT(1)  RIGHT(1)  DECIMAL(6)  field allignment settings manually, but all the hard work should be done.

 

Download mmtothou.exe here. It is compiled local and codesigned. 

Backup your work first.  Use at your own risk.

Enjoy.
