Oh, refresh the data tree. Yes, you can call this to get the datatree

When you change the fields on the pipeline at Delphi design time, then when
you run the app and the report, it should reflect the new fields. The JIT
won't work at Delphi design time because the event handlers don't execute.

You can extract the TdaSQL object when the report is loaded

this object (call AddEventNotify) with a TppCommunicator you create. In your

1. This isn't possible unless you change the source OR use custom dataview
templates where you control how to get the data. I would suggest at this
point to create custom dataview templates. You can link them at runtime

You'll have to use the OnSelectionChanged event of the designer to get at

This is code that is in your Dade plugin. It is used to get info about the

It works for me. Perhaps the webserver connectivity was down temporarily? We
rebooted the machine this morning so there were a few minutes that it was
down. Try downloading it again.

It requires a little coding, but you can use dataviews that have edited SQL
with autosearch. You'll have to follow the standard autosearch demos
technique. Here is a tip I created:

1. & 3. Yes, you have to create a custom autosearch dialog to do lookups:

your DADE plugin unit and modify the GetTableNames method to also return
Views as Tables.

You'll have to implement the entire saving process, which isn't as much as
it sounds like, because there is a method on the template to save to file.
By default, if you don't assign this event handler, the designer calls
Report.Templa…Use the Report.Template.OnLoadEnd event to set Report.Modified to true. That
would surely always force the save dialog to show when they exit the
designer or try to load another report.
To detect what they did, you'll have to ma…Check your newsreader settings, it may not be keeping old messages around. I

You can't extract the style and layout from a report. Those are used in
order to create the layout with the Report Wizard. They are not persistent
on the report once the report is created. They are simply a way to describe
how the lay…You'll have to read the Report.PrinterSetup to get the paper width, paper
height or paper name after the template is loaded. I'm guessing this is what
you mean by layout.
What do you mean by style?

Summary:
When creating search criteria in DADE, use the dataview's name, not
necessarily the name of the table that is joined in the dataview for the
field from which the criteria is based.Are these tables linked master detail? I think in an older version of RB

a search criteria object on the dataview which is an autosearch criteria. Is

We felt the autosearch dialog would be annoying if you were trying to define
a layout and switching between the Design and Preview tabs. So, simply
create these criteria with values and don't make them autosearch until you
are finishe…It works for me. I assign the Report.Template.OnLoadEnd event and then check

This way you don't have to rely on Report.OnCancel being triggered. Here is
