Modify report fields at runtime
Hello,
I am a report builder novice. I have created an application in Delphi where
I need to reproduce a dynamic org chart in a report. The chart/report can
change depending on the base node selected. I can move the data from an org
chart component into a dataset where each row uniquely identifies a node.
From here I want to send this to a report template that has fields in place
such as Node0_Name, Node1_Name, etc.
I need to fill in each field from the dataset with only the Name field
associated with its node level. Does ReportBuilder support formula editor
language at the template level? Am I using the wrong approach entirely?
Thank you for your time,
Andy Roberts

Take a look at the Enterprise edition of ReportBuilder. This includes RAP
which stands for Report Application Programming and allows you to embed and
execute pascal code from within the report template. I would suggest
downloading a trial copy of RB Enterprise and taking a look at some of the
RAP demos and tutorials.
