Custom Columns Question
I was just curious if you have ever done anything like the following.
In certain grids for delphi (devex for example), you can pick the
columns you want in the grid from a drop down menu. So you have default
Name, Address, city, State, Zipcode and invisible but available to be
picked are Email, Fax, Phone Number.
Have you ever done anything like this in the reportwriter where on the
preview form the user could pick the columns to show up. Not a big
deal, just curious. Thanks

Currently RB does not support actual components inside the preview such
as combo boxes etc. This would however be a nice feature and I will add
it to our possible enhancement list for a future release.
Currently the easiest way would be to use the AutoSearch feature or to
pre-select the columns using a Delphi component like demos 112 - 116 of
the main reports demo.
It could also be possible to implement the OnClick of a drawcommand
which could in turn load a dialog that allows the user to select which
columns they would like giving a more interactive approach.
