Topic: Report generator: cannot use quote mark (" or ') in query

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a report using report generator module. In SQL query, I need to filter and modify some fields' values, using 'where field_name = "blablabla"' and 'date_format(date_field, "blablabla")'. But the SQL was said having SQL error, and I got error code : 1064.

The problem was gone if I remove every filter and modifying function which use quote mark (" or ').

Does this mean we should not use quote mark in the query?

This report generator was not written by us, but by another guy (look into the readme file). It was only adapted by us to fit into FA.

So I guess you are right. No quote mark in queries.

Oh, I just read in the readme.txt file that the author is Joe Hunt. And I thought that was you.
Hmmm... So, to whom can I send my questions?

Finally I can create a report without any quote marks smile
Btw, I was creating a pdf report for stock movements, because I don't see a pdf report available for it.
