GetAutoSearchDescriptionLines problem

rbuser

RB7.02 D6 EndUser DADE with rap

I use the GetAutoSearchDescriptionLines method to put out the values
in the title page. I have a report that has an autosearch criteria
that uses a select clause such as:

Field is ID (a numeric)
Operator is inList
Value is Select id from customer where name like 'S%'

The query and report work fine but if you use the
GetAutoSearchDescriptionLines method it throws an error. I think it
is trying to convert the value to an integer in the ConvertValue
method.

How do I get around this?

Thanks,

Is this with a DADE dataview or a query on a form/datamodule? It works fine
in tests here. Can you reproduce this problem with our demos?

You don't have to use the GetAutosearchDescriptionLines, but rather you can
build your own description by looping through the Report.AutosearchFields
array proeprty checking Report.AutosearchFieldCount. Then once you pull out
a TppAutosearchField, you can reference its value and description. See the
help on TppAutosearchField for more info on its members.

Jim,

No, as I said it was Dade.

I have emailed an example using your report explorer end user demo
that shows the error.

"GetAutosearchDescriptionLines sample".

A patch is available to fix this problem when using sub selects for DADE
search criteria and then calling Report.GetAutosearchDescriptionLines.
