User Input needed to show on report.

rbuser

Hi Everyone,

I need to have an input box displayed on the screen (at runtime) which the
user can enter some text.

That text should then be displayed on the report in the form of a memo or
label.

I have looked around the forum and the following link, it sounds helpfull,
however it no longer exists.

Can somebody please help me with this little task.



Many thanks

Hi Paul,

Displaying an autosearch dialog is one option however the autosearch feature
is mainly used to alter a query's search criteria at runtime to change the
report output. If you would just like to add some user input to the report
output, you could simply create your own dialog with an edit box or memo,
display it before the report prints, store the user input into a global
variable, and then assigning that data to a report component such as a
TppLabel or TppMemo before that component prints.
