In the design view of a report, how do I declare a variable and perform a
calculation?

thank you

    Put a Variable component from the RB's toolbar into the report and use
    it's OnCalc event to assign the value you need.

    Hi Chris,

    do a right click over the variable component and select 'calculation ...'.

    HTH,

    Hello Chris

    When I right click over the variable all I have available is:

    Bring to Front
    Send to Back
    AutoSize
    DisplayFormat...
    LookAhead
    Position...
    ReprintOnOverFlow
    ShiftWithParent
    Timing...
    Transparent
    Visible
    WordWrap

    Thanks,
    Chris Lawery

    Select the component, go to the object inspector events and select the
    OnCalc event. Double-clicking the component does the same if i'm not wrong.

    I think I may have posted in the wrong group. I am using the end user
    report builder. I don't have delpi, only rbuilder.

    Thanks

    Hi Chris,


    Maybe, but now it's too late to switch. ;-)


    so you should ask the developer of that application to enable this feature.

    Chris,
    Thanks for the help. I just left a voice mail with my developer. Hopefully
    he will enable this feature for me.

    p.s. what is this feature called?
    thanks again

    Hello Chris,

    Thanks for all you help. I just received my update from my developer. He
    added in the calculations feature. All is working well now.

    Thanks again,
    Chris Lawery

    Chris,

    Newbie developer question: how DOES one "enable this feature" in an
    application? How can I set the End User Reporting setup to permit end users
    to create and use their own variables?

    Thanks.

    Hi Stephen,

    you need the Enterprise version. See chapter 'Controlling the EndUser Environment' in the Developer's Guide.
