Converting reports to read only

rbuser

Hi, I'm new to using report builder and I have written a few reports that I
wouldn't want my lovely users to be able to change/modify. Report builder
has been linked to our main database and sits as part of our main program,
but I can't seem to find anywhere in the program that locks the report so
that fields and the layout of the report cannot be changed.
Kind regards,
David.

Hi David,

Unfortunately there is no built-in feature to render a report read only
inside the designer. One option would be to implement the OnCustomSaveDoc
event of the designer to prevent your users from saving their changes.
Another option would be to only allow your users preview the read only
reports.
