parameters sticking

rbuser

Hi

I use prameters in my report for displaying in a label / variable. they are
keeping the original value and not getting reset.

In the onGetText event I specify someting like:
text := report.parameters('MyVar');

In delphi I do the following

ppReportOutput.Parameters.InsertMode := True;
ppReportOutput.Parameters.items['MyVar'].Value := textValue;

the first time I ran the report and edited it - it specified the correct
values. Ever since then, the report retains the orginal parameters and does
not take the subsequent values. i.e. the report parameters seem to get
saved with the report after editing and cannot be changed..... what do I
need to do to fix this...

Hi Paul,

I'm a bit unclear about how your application is working. Where are you
assigning the parameter values in Delphi? Are you certian they are actually
being changed?

In Delphi, prior to running the report I set the report parameters. I can
see straight away in debug mode that they have changed. however when the
report comes up, when the Gettext event of a lable executes to set the text
of label from the parameter, it gets the original value of the paramter from
the very first run.

The report gets editied at runtime, adjusted and saved. So at that point
the variables do have values as the user runs the report first (hence
parameters are set) and then goes into design edit to change it before
saving. So in a sense it appears that the parameter values are being saved
along with the report and won't change or get reset after.

Hi Paul,

I apologize, but I'm still not understanding when exactly you are changing
the parameters. In a quick test I set a parameter just before the report
prints, then I close the report and change the parameter (all at runtime)
and print the report again. The parameter is successfully changed. This
parameter is also being saved correctly if I save the report template.
Perhaps give me the exact steps I can take to recreate this behavior.

Sorry to have wasted your time. what was happening was that I was setting
the parameters correctly but code following that reloaded the report and the
parameters were subsequently reset.
