dynamicaly assign a subreport

rbuser

Hi there,

I have a serveral reports that i wish to use as a subreport. These
'subreports' will contain the dealer information for eg. invoices.
Now, the users may use a default logo (subreport) or they may design(or
adjust) there own logo.
How do i assign dynamicaly the contents(layout) of a subreport to a report.
In the headerband of the report(main) i'll provide a region to place the
subreport in....

Any idea? I can't find a sollution. (I'm new to reportbuilder)

Anyway, thanx in advance!!

In the designer, you or a user can load and save subreports using the File
menu, from inside the subreport workspace. The subreport has a Report
property, which means it has the standard Template property. You can do
this programatically:

Subreport.Report.Template.Filename := aPath + 'myfile.rtm';
Subreport.Report.Template.LoadFromFile;

There is also an example of creating a subreport descedent which does this
automatically, to support common title, header and footer bands from one
template across all reports. See the installed
RBuilder\Demos\EndUser\DynamicSubreportLoading example.

My problem is more of the kind that i have both-the master and the one with
the dealer data- reports loaded from database(this works)

Now, on my "master" reports i will have a region with a subreport in it
(this for every type of invoice in the package)
When i design the report dynamically i name the username to "DealerLogo",
swat, i can find the subreport but then, what do i have to do to link the
contents to the "sub"-report to the DealerLogo subreport in the
mastereport..

Thx,

Something I do that helps quite a bit: create the report at design time that
works. Save it to a file.

Next create a report at run time that suppose to work but you can't figure
out what you are doing wrong. Save it to another file and use a tool such as
BeyondCompare to compare the two files to see what your missing.
Alternatively, you could open it up in the designer and see what you
misconfigured.
