AutosearchField at Design Time

rbuser

Hi,

is there the pssibility once you define autosearch fields to ask for them
when you click on the preview tab at design time?
A lot of time, when design reports on a database that contains a lot of
data, if you click on the preview tab by error, it starts running for a log
time, also if you have defined some mandatory autosearch fields in order to
limit records to be accesed.

Thanks

We felt the autosearch dialog would be annoying if you were trying to define
a layout and switching between the Design and Preview tabs. So, simply
create these criteria with values and don't make them autosearch until you
are finished with the report layout. That way it doesn't return a large
dataset when you go to the preview tab by accident.


Cheers,
