Table Set to 'Active' on open of Report Designer

edited July 2001 in General
Hi,

It appears that when I open the report designer, Table.Active (for the
table connected via the pipeline into the report) is set to 'True'.
Can anyone give me a hint as to how to keep the Table.Active property
at the setting (True or False) that I set it to?

thanks,
Phil

    Hi Philip,

    There is no way, because there is no Dataset property for this design
    problem.
    But if you uses a Database component (I recommend this), you can set the
    'Connected' property to False before compiling and saving.
    I use descendants of TDataset/TDatabase components which are always saved as
    inactive.
    (property Active stored False).

    Chris,

    Thanks for the info. I'll look at the custom descendants of
    TDataset/TDatabase for the next project.

    Thanks,
    Phil

    Is the PipeLine property:
    property CloseDataSource: Boolean;
    any use here?

    BTW I always scan (with GREP) all the DFM's for "Active ="
    to catch this. Setting the above property to True seemed to help.
