Data Dictionary not used when the report designer is opened from the Delphi Form designer

I've created a data dictionary that I want for the end-users of our app but I want to author the reports by opening the report designer from the delphi form designer. If I open the report designer from the Delphi form designer, all I see are the raw database table names in the DADE query designer etc. I'm using persistent memory tables ( In my case UniDAC TVirtualTables ) for the Datadictionary pipelines with all of the mappings in the tables at design time and the tables are active at design time too. If I run the simple app I was trying to edit in the Form designer and open a Report Builder designer, the DataDictionary entries are all I get which is the behaviour I would expect. Is there any way to get the designer to honour the data dictionary at delphi design time, so any reports I create don't accidentally have tables I want to hide?

Thanks,

Greg

    Hi Greg,

    At Delphi design-time, the DataDictionary is enabled by selecting the File | Data Settings... option while on the "Data" tab. Then check the "Data Dictionary" option near the bottom of the "Connection" tab of the Data Settings dialog.
