autosearch values in report

rbuser

Dear all,
from looking at previous posts, it seems that it is not possible for
an end-user to access the values used as autosearch parameters unless they
are using RAP.

My user is very happy with the ability to create a report on a date range,
he just wants the 'from date to date' to be printed on the report.

Can you confirm that this is not possible. (Or if it is please do tell).

If it is not, then I urge you to add it as a feature ASAP.

regards

RAP is one way for the end user to add this to the report. If you rebuild,
you could surface this as a field in a supporting JITPipeline so that the
user can hook a dbMemo up to the JITPipeline field and print the autosearch
information. Then call Report.GetAutosearchDescriptionLines and pass it back
in a memo field of the JITPipeline event to get the field value. See the
help file for more info on the JITPipeline. There are also demos of the
JITPipeline in the main reports demo project. Keep in mind you don't want to
connect the JITPipeline to a report, just have it contain one record and
hook it up to the dbMemo control.
