Hello?

I posted to this group 22 minutes ago and my message has not appeared?

=================================
I created a sime ppReport and added a ppDesigner to the form. I then called
ppDesigner.Show.

Is this what I can expect the user to see when designing reports? The
following questions occur to me.

1) There is no object inspector, how can a user edit Font settings etc?
2) The existing data-aware items show the data instead of the fieldnames
(like at design time), can I change this behaviour because often the data
has NULL in it.
3) Can I replace the Open/Save menu items, or at the very least remove them?

    Looks like your last post was added to a thread from 2001. Below is my
    previous answer.

    Hi Peter,

    1. ReportBuilder 9 or higher includes an Object Inspector-like feature
    attached to the Report Tree. To access the report tree select the View |
    ToolBars | Report Tree option from the main menu in the designer.

    2. This is the normal behavior of the end-user designer. Unfortunately
    there is no automatic way to turn this wysiwyg feature off. You can see the
    field being used by clicking on the DBText object and looking at the combo
    boxes at the top of the designer. Good suggestion for a later release
    however.

    3. You can access the menu of the designer using the Designer.Menu
    property.

    Actually you seem to be right. ShowData seems to have no effect, the items
    still show data instead of names.
