How to see only the pipelines in the current module

edited November 2006 in General
I have several pipelines on different forms.

How can I hide the pipelines that are in other forms/modules. in order to
see only the necessary on my report design?

    Hi Juan,

    You can prevent certain pipelines from showing up in the report designer by
    setting the Visible property of the pipelines to False.

    How can I make it to see certain pipelines in one report designer and other
    pipelines in the other at the same pipeline?
    I mean, see only the pipelines in the same form.

    Thanks

    Hi Juan,

    ReportBuilder by default will search every form and datamodule for pipelines
    and display them if they are visible. There is no built-in way to define
    certain pipelines for certain reports.

    One option would be to define all your datasets in DADE, keeping all data
    local to the report and removing the need for any pipelines on your
    forms/datamodules all together. This would be the most elegant approach.
    See examples of using DADE instead of pipelines in the end user demos.

    Another would be to toggle the visibility of certain pipelines in code if a
    given report is being designed.

    I'll try the second one when I have a chance.
