You should skip trying to get it in the OnNew event, but rather try to
leverage the OnLoadEnd and OnSaveStart events. You don't need the stream,
just let RB handle that. I was thinking that you had extra info from your
app, in a Delph… -
In the end user project, in the Report.Template.OnSaveStart event, check the
rbItem dataset's field value for 'ItemID' to get the current record. For a
new report use the Report.Template.OnNew event if you want to check it in
that ev… -
The Report.Template is a Delphi object. You can use it to save to database
or file using its interface. When you call Report.Template.SaveToDatabase,
it will try to stream the report template to the database using the

Sorry, ReportBuilder doesn't natively support MBCS. Try changing the
datatype for the report name in the database table definition to support a
multi byte character as you are getting an Oracle database error.

If you don't have an ODAC DADE plugin already, then try using DOA as there
is a DADE plugin that is popular amongst the Oracle and RB customers. Check
out daDBBDE.pas for an example of the simplest DADE plugin (the BDE one).If you are using a DADE plugin at runtime, you'll want to use this at Delphi
design time as well. So, you'll have to create a Delphi design time package
that you install into Delphi. This will register the session class and you
will t…This is all we have right now:

TppDesigner.OnCustomSaveDoc is the event to use to control the saving
process of a report.

You can search on Name, ItemType and CurrentFolderID. Reference the

that the end user can call which displays their end user created DADE
dataview with autosearch criteria:
in Another question about AutoSearch fields Comment by digitalmetaphors June 2003You can just call ppGetUniqueName in ppUtils.pas. Pass the form, any string
prefix you want, ie. 'my' and finally pass the component reference.

Give it a unique name before assiging the parent property. Then it will
work.The data module is owned by the form, and the dataviews are owned by
the form, so they will be freed when the form is freed, unless you free them
manually. …If there are stretchable controls in a detail band, then the detail band

like you would use a TPanel in a delphi form. So, the Region can Stretch and

I created an example and yes,this does fire a lot. There is no optimization
