Share parameters in multiple reports

edited April 2008 in General
Hi,

I have several reports that are diferent in content, but have a very similar
page header. In Rave I would create project parameters and set fields to
point to these parameters in every report. I tried to use this approach
with RB but could not find an answer.

I found the ParameterList property, but this is a for each report. How can
I set a value to some parameter shared across multiple reports? Is this even
possible? Is this possible only thru templates?

Regards

Ivan

    On solution is to use a JITPipeline that contains a Field to represent each
    parameter. Set JITPipeline.RecordCount to 1 and implement the
    OnGetFieldValue event to return the parameter value.

    Then in the report layouts you can use DBText to bind to the JITPipeline
    fields.
