Loading a band from file?

rbuser

Hi,

we are using RB 7.04 with Delphi5.
What I want to do: create a default header band in a single file. Every
report should use this file for its header. Then, if I want to change the
header I just have to change my header band file once.
Is that possible?

1. Create a Header layout (myHeader.rtm)

Create a report layout with no header/footer. Size the detail band to be the
height of the "header". Add labels, etc.

Save the layout as myHeader.rtm

2. Use the Header layout in a report

Add a subreport to the Header band of the report. From the Designer, access
the workspace for the subreport and then select File | Load Subreport

Or programmatically load the header at runtime (to make sure you use the
latest version).

mySubreport.Report.Template.FileName := 'c:\myHeader.rtm'
mySubreport.Report.Template.LoadFromFile;
