Setting Variable properties at run time

rbuser

Howdy;

I am using D6 with RB7.02 pro. My end-user app requires several totals of
columns, as well as differences, etc. These have to be defined at run time
by the end user.

I can place a VARIABLE component, but I can't see where the properties are
set. Can you provide some assistance?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Steve,

The best place to set the properties of a Variable (especially the value) is
in the OnCalc event of that variable. Here you can set the value of a
TppVariable using the TppVariable.Value property. Remember that a
TppVariable is a descendent of the TppCustomText component so it contains
many of the same properties and methods that a TppLabel and TppDBText have.
For more information, see the TppVariable topic in the ReportBuilder help.
