advantage data dictionary problem

Hi I have an app that I recently converted to use the Advantage Data
Dictionary from the Advantage Database Server. There is an AdsConnection
called euReporter which is linked to the correct dictionary alias.
When looking at the data settings in the Designer the database name is blank
even though it is set within the app. The result is that RB cannot find the
tables. Also the login is reuired for the database but this is provided in
the ppDesigner properties.
This all works fine when not using the Advantage DD. Are there any notes on
how to use them together ?

Thanks

Andy Dyble

    The daAds.pas included with ReportBuilder 7 contains support for the
    Advantage Data Dictionary.

    There is nothing special that you have to do to use the Ads Data
    Dictionary - the daAds.pas contains the necessary logic.

    When the TppDesigner.DataSettings.SessionType is set to AdsSession, the
    TppDesigner.DatabaseName drop down list should display the available
    AdsConnection objects. Make sure that you include daADS in the uses clause
    form/datamodule that contains the end-user components.
