Here is an example of adding the text search feature to a custom preview

We haven't coded an example of this. You'll have to create a

DADE expects to be connected to a database. You'll want to have a connection
to allow new queries to be constructed. You can manipulate report layouts,
but not the data access definitions in your current scenario.

No, when you are using the query designer, it is assumed that you don't need
an alias to configure the query. You need to use the tablename.fieldname in
this case.
An alternative is to make this an autosearch criteria and set1. Use the Report.OnStartPage event to check if Report.AbsolutePageCount = 1
then Footerband.Visible := True, else = False.
2. Use a page style band. Activate the band from Report | PageStyle menu
option in the designer.

Digital Metaphors…If you create a new version of this report from scratch, then can you
reproduce the problem? At which point when you are constructing the report
layout configuration does the report not begin working?
