Displaying auto search values on report

edited October 2002 in End User
How do I display on the report what was entered in the autosearch so the
user knows what they selected after the report prints.

Also, if I have a custom template that asks for input via a dialog. How can
I pass this data to the end-user so they can display these values on the
report?

Thanks,

Matt

    You can use the Report.GetAutosearchDescriptionLines method. See the
    autosearch demos for an example which uses this in conjunction with a memo
    control in the report.

    You can create a JIT Pipeline that feeds this data. They can drop down a
    DBText and connect it to the JIT pipeline. You only have to provide one
    record in the JIT which has all of the parameters as different fields from
    your custom dialog. There are examples of using the JIT pipeline in the
    main reports demos in the non databased reports section.
