<p class="formText">Double click on the file ..\csharp\bin\createReport.exe.<br><br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- URL text box<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Results Display Window <br>


Click on the 'Create Report' button to begin the sample program and display a dialog box that will prompt for a report name. Then select the
table name and the associated report columns to be used. Click 'Run' to create the new report.
Once the new report has been added to IBM Cognos Connection, the report specification is executed and
the result is saved to the current working directory.</p>

<p class="formText">The sample has been coded to work with the Go Sales (query) package.<br>
To work with another package, you may need to edit the createReportDlg.cs to select nodes differently.<br>
(Edit "tableNodes = root.SelectNodes("//folder/folder")")</p>
