reportbuilder and instantobjects

edited October 2006 in General
Hello,

Is anyone here familiar with using an Persistence Object Layer
specifically instantobjects with reportbuilder?

I've been trying to create a report using Reportbuilder (D6 w/
reportbuilder 9) with InstantObjects. I have two objects TSupplier and
TProduct

TSupplier
Name: String;
Address: String;

TProduct
Name: String;
Supplier :TSupplier;(Reference)

I'm using a TInstantSelector to Select TProduct, however I am not able to
use the Supplier.Name or Supplier.Address fields of my TProduct.
ReportBuilder encounters a "Name field not found" or "Address
field not found" error. How can I "use" Supplier.Name or Supplier.Address
in my report. I think it uses Name and not Supplier.Name or Address
instead of Supplier.Address.

Can someone please point me to an example in using both Reportbuilder +
InstantObjects?


TIA

Aldous

    Does Instance Objects have a TDataSet descendant class?

    Does Instance Objects work with standard Delphi data-aware controls such as
    DBText? If so how does it work?

    What type of RB DataPipeline are you trying to use? DBPipeline? JITPipeline?
    or is there an InstanceObjectsPipeline?
