Reports and Data in different DB...

rbuser

Hi all,

Suppose i pretend to save the reports and dataware layout in one database
for accessing the data info on another database. Is this possible? Problems,
tips, examples would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Yes you can do this. Our DBISAM end user demo does this. The demo uses two
database objects on the form. It has dbData which is the database connecting
to the data that goes in the reports, and dbSupportingTables which is data
which holds the templates and end user tables. Then those database objects
are used in the demo in the normal way. The designer's datasettings use
dbData and all the report explorer and data dictionary stuff uses the
dbSupporting tables.
