The error you are receiving indicates that there is no TADOConnection named
'euDatabase' on the datamodule that contains the report volume.
For each report volume you need to use a separate TDataModule. The
TDataModule sho… -
This is not currently supported. Will be possible with the custom parameters
feature being added for the next release.

The TDataModule upon which the ReportVolume resides is the Owner of the
Report and the Database connection objects. Therefore you could pass the
Report object reference to the RAP pass-through function. Then get the
Report.Owner…
Yes, currently you can use RB's AutoSearch parameters to pass parameter
values to a report. See RBuilder\Demos\AutoSearch and see our live demo

We have not yet dug into ASP .Net, so I do not know much about it.
1. I think a good first step would be to build an RB WebTier application
that works with ASP and get that working on a simple test server. See

I realize that you are trying to provide an improved user experience - that
is what Flash is typically used for.
I am not familiar with how Flash MX remoting works.
However I definitely think that is doable. I assume that you want to create
a Flash previewer, rather than the XHTML viewer that we offer. Would you
still want the report…

Yes. The WebTier component internally uses ClientReport and
ClientReportCatalog to communicate with the report server.
Try building an Apache shared module rather than an ISAPI module. The
RBServer\Demos\WebTier\Apache\ReadMe.doc contains step by step details for
building an Apache shared module and configuring an Apache server. As noted
in the …
Yes. RB Server Edition includes a Windows service application called

in MIDAS and RB Server? Comment by nardmoseley March 2003
For the rbItems data, try using a TQuery rather than a TTable. The default
SQL should select all records, because that is needed to build the volume
directory. Set the ReportVolume.DirectoryOptions.RefreshInterval to a very
high…
The .rtm files on the server can be arranged into subfolders. You just need
to point the ReportTemplateVolume.FileDirectory at the root directory. The
ClientReportExplorer and Webtier can both display a report explorer style

Building the directory tree that is shown by the report explorer will cause
the dataset to be opened and all records to be traversed. In its current
implementation this can be slow for very large numbers of reports - as you

We have not researched this, nor have we designed the architecture to

I honestly do not know whether you should have separate WebTier(ISAPI) and
(IntraWeb) applications or just use the WebTier component within the
IntraWeb application. I do not have any real experience with IntraWeb.

I recommend that you try to approach this incrementally:
1. Build a simple ClientReport application that uses custom parameters
