    Does anyone have an experience with MUIBase Query editor and exporting its results to PDF file?

    Recently I've created a database with several attributes, which are represented in Query editor by columns.
    By clicking RMB on the top bar of columns, a pop-up menu appears in which one can deactivate (exclude) some of columns.
    But after I exclude one of them (it disappears in Query editor) and then export the query result to an PDF, that column still exists there in PDF.

    Am I right it should affects on PDF output or not?

    I miss draggable screens... and do you? I know I'm in a minority unfortunately.

    I have one big datbase, that have relation , buttons, and i can even start an mp3 fil whit an button.

    If i want to make an pdf file a do this steps.

    1. Go too the Queries editor

    2. Type (in my case) SELECT File From Encode, If I type SELECT * From Encode, the rsult will be all data i have.

    3.Press the RUN button to get the list of only files data

    4. Press the PDF button, and type where the pdf file should be saved ( in my case Ram Disk:).

    5. Then I can open the PDF file in the Ram Disk:

    For now MUIbase does not check the status of fields abd that's why it does not hide them when exporting to pdf.
    But this can/will be changed for one of the next new releases of MUIbase (as per Steffen Gutmann).

    From my point of view, in fact this is quite a handy feature ;-)
