I don't know about "events don't fire after call to the LoadFromFile method"
issue, but wouldn't it be much easier to just inlude whatever you do in your
OnPreviewFormCreate event right before the call to the ppReport1.Print?

Thanks - that worked. I think I'll just leave the joins pipeline blank -
makes it a bit more flexible.

in Problems with Data Dictionary Comment by rbuser May 2003

The problem is that you are trying to use Joins for dictionary without
creating them first.
So there are 2 ways. You would either need to create those joins in the
dictionary or you can just empty TppDataDictionary.JoinPipeline proper…

in How can I change SQL right before it's execution? Comment by rbuser May 2003

Ops, sorry - wrong question.
What I meant to ask was:
Lets take that the SQL query I'm talking about is manually edited SQL. Then:

in Can I somehow create Master-Detail relationship between manually edited SQLs for subreports? Comment by rbuser May 2003

Well... I already use Custom ReportExplorer form, but I was hoping that
there is some other - easier way. Hmm.., it really seems to be the only way
to do it. Ok, thank you for the explanation, I will have to do it.

Hi,
Thank you for the explanation about streams and saving to the report
template.
I was aware of the template offset area but didn't quite know how to use it
(now I know though). Unfortunately I need to use both database AND tem…

Hi,
Thanks, the method for getting id when editing the report works just fine.
But I have some problems with getting id of the report that is just being
created.
Let's say I create a new report. How do I know an Id of the report…

I see. I finally understand. Thank you.

in Report Template? For saving into the database? Comment by rbuser June 2003

Thanks, that worked great.
I just changed ITEM_NAME Type from CHAR(60) (as was in your Oracle demo
scripts) on VARCHAR2 and everything started to work properly.

Jim!
THX for your answer, but looking into code looks for me too difficult with
small chance to successed.
I know this has nothing with you but have to express myself.

No,no,no. I already know it. I meant something else.
Well ok, there seems to be no way to do what I meant anyway, so don't bother
yourself with it anymore.

in How do I know if the report has been saved or not? Comment by rbuser June 2003

Nope, it doesn't help. Datasets should not be used here, because dataset is
not being referred when no changes are made.

I mean the following:

Hi Moisey,

I would use the events of the dataset that keeps the end-user report templates.

Thanks Jim and Moisey,

I created a db user function to return an ordered string of
historical dates for a specific user that could them be used in an
order clause in RB.

Thanks,

Sorry, I can't help you with this one, but just for such difficult cases, in

Damn, that seems to be a little hard for me. (No time to try and understand
it all).
Thanks for the tip, but rewriting saving process is too much for overwriting
routine.
Can't I just prohibit overwriting at all?

Hi Jim,
how do I give it a uniqueName? Do you have any code sample to use your

Can you make my example current by using your GetUniqueName?

in Cannot save text in RichEdit. Comment by rbuser June 2003

Ok, then the JITpipeline solution won't work for us, since we don't want to
be hitting this event so many times for just a few header vars. I'll go
back to using the parameters and let the report writers pick up the values
in RAP.
