Before launching the designer set the Designer.Datasettings property to the
new database. If you want to change it after a report is loaded, first
change the designer's property. Then extract the DADE data module from the
report and… -
This was an issue with the DADE plugin. I can send you an updated
daDBExpress.pas file which should fix this problem for RB 6.03. Send an
email to support@digital-metaphors.com

DADE doesn't support multiple databases at this time. You might want to
think about another tier, such as ASTA, or use data pipelines on a form or
datamodule if you have to use multiple databases for a single report.

Be aware that DADE expects to be connected to a report. The classes which
are DADE classes are all prefixed with da*. You might be able to create a
report behind the scenes and just show a datamodule (TdaDatamodule)

Inner Join the two tables together. Now you can create a group in the
report which is based on the student ID. Since you only get one student
record for each student id, then there will only be one record in each
group. Now, you can… -
You should use one DBISAM database connected to the Designer.Datasettings
property. DADE only supports one database at a time. When you load a
template, the database name in the datasettings needs to match the database
name that the… -
The detail magic SQL should differ from the SQL that you get on the SQL tab
of the dataview. The magic SQL is the actual SQL that is generated in order
to get the detail dataset as ordered by the master dataset. The SQL tab's

In the dataview's link dialog, there is an option at the bottom to show
master records when no details exists. The default is to not show master
records when no detail record exist for that master. If this doesn't help,

Yes, if the data dictionary is empty, then you won't see any tables or
fields in the query tools. You say that you generated the data dictionary
entries, and so UseDataDictionary should be true. Make sure that the design

Make sure that the DatabaseName and Name properties are the same for hte
DBISAM database component on the form. This is the only way that the DADE
plugin can find the database on the form. Make sure you have the

Frankly I have no idea. 'Shared row' sounds right - the intent of the TQuery
is to read the data, and it certainly doesn't want records deleted or
changed out from underneath it (though you would think that "DirtyRead"
would allow eve… -
If you are considering moving away from the BDE, there is a list of BDE
alternatives on our website which are supported for use inside of RB's
visual query building environment.

Here are two demos which do this but with different approaches. One uses
bookmarks on the pipeline and the other creates search criteria.

Yes, the database settings are saved in the template. When the remplate is
loaded, it will try to find that database using those settings. If it can't
find it then it raises an exception. What you need to do is configure the

You need to set the TdaSQL object's property EditSQLAsText := True;

Here is a version of the latest daASTA.pas DADE plugin which has been tested
to work with RB 7 Enterprise and ASTA 3.066. It has not been modified for
thread safety with the ReportBuilder Server Edition.

That is correct. When it is ready we'll make an announcement. We are
testing with Asta 3 and RB 7.

You are running an older DBISAM plugin. There should be one in your
installation in the RBuilder\Demos\EndUserDatabases\DBISAM\Native\ directory
that should compile with RB 7 and has been made threadsafe for use with the
RB 7 Server E… -

Yes, you can change the database settings in the template before you load
it. This should work because you are using ASTA to connect to the same
database, so the field names and tables names should match up nicely. There
is a techniq… -
When are you trying to retrieve this information? Perhaps it is too soon and
the normal sequence of events hasn't caused the dataviews to generate. I

The MagicSQLText is generated by the dataview. If you would like to edit
the SQL text and have it be persistent, then set EditSQLAsText to true on
the TdaSQL object and use the SQLText property and not the MagicSQLText
property.
Yes, you should be able to use an ASTA CDS -> TDatasource ->
TppDBPipeline -> Report. You should also try testing your connection with a

You should use the data types as defined in the SQL script included in the
