Exporting from database to .rtm file

edited December 2002 in End User
Dear Mr, Mrs,

I have a question:

I have saved all my reports in a table as a blob-field. I want to export
them to .rtm files. I did try by using Save As from the editor, but
reportbuilder wants to write in the table. Is it possible (automatic or
manuel) to export these blob fields?

Many thanks in advance and best regards,

    The designer component has an AllowSaveToFile property to let you do this
    manually. You could write a program to load them from the database then
    save them to file. Use the Report.Template.LoadFromDatabase and SaveToFile
    routines. There is a Report.Template.DatabaseSettings property that needs
    to be set in order to load the reports. You'll have to set the
    Report.Template.FileName property to direct the file to the right
    destination file.
