RichText MailMerge

edited September 2006 in General
Hello, first of all, sorry by my english. Scene:
DELPHI 2006 Report Builder 10.4
Report Structure:
Header Group0___________
Header Group1___________
Detail__________________
Footer Group1___________
Footer Group0___________

I have:
Step 1
1) used a RichText component into group header1 band of an report with
dataPipeline Master-Detail.
2) selected fields only from datapipeline detail and insert its into text of
richText
3) running the preview
Result:
the data fieds on richText are not refreshed after scrolling pages

Step 2
1) in the same group header band have added an dbText component associated
to the same pipeline detail of the fileds inserted into richText. Set
datafield property to a field (first)
2) running the preview
Result
the data field on richText are refreshed correctly

NOTE: The data have been constructed through Magic sql of data designe

    Hi Vincenzo,

    I am unclear about what you are trying to accomplish. If you are connecting
    to the detail pipeline from the group header band of the main report, you
    will not be traversing the data one by one. In my quick tests however the
    data did in fact change for a master detail report with a mail merge
    richtext connected to the detail dataset. If possible, please construct a
    small simple application that demonstrates what you describe (perhaps using
    the DBDEMOS database) and send it in .zip format to
    support@digital-metaphors.com.
