Missing Module?
Our company uses a 3rd Party application that uses RAP for producing End-
User reports, and we have spent much time creating producing porduction
and management reports using it.
Our production office wants to change one of the more complex reports so
that it will print the first page (of a group) from one bin (simplex) and
the remainder (of the that group) from another bin (in duplex).
Having read through several back posts from the Tech-Tips and Devices
forums, it would seem that I cannot do this from within the report itself,
but need to 'get at' the report via Delphi - is this correct?
We have Delphi 7 Ent and Report Builder Enterprise (V7).
I have gone through the Data Dictionary Tutorial, but when I try to open a
copy of the Report to modify it to meet the new specifications, I get an
error
Error Reading Template.
Class TdaWDBDEQueryDataView not found.
I have since noticed that in the 3rd party Application, apart from the
Query Designer and Query Designer Wizard there is also a Linked Tables and
Linked Tables Wizard option available from the File, New, New Items
Dialog.
Is this module shipped with the Enterprise version of RB, or is it a
custom RCL (probably by the 3rd party developer and therefore unavailable
to me!)?

The TdaWDBDEQueryDataView is not a native ReportBuilder class. This is
probably part of a custom DADE plugin that was created specifically for this
application. It also looks like some other classes were added to DADE for
this application in that there are new custom controls and dialogs in the
data workspace. You will need to get this code from the person/company that
wrote it in order for your templates to function correctly.

The TdaWDBDEQueryDataView enables direct access into Window Designer's Data
Structures. We spent many months altering ReportBuilder to make it work with
Window Deisigner. Unfortunately you will not be able to alter the workings
of ReportBuilder to make it work. Also, even if you did find a way the VCL
library between C++ Builder 5 and Delphi7 is NOT compatible.
Please contact our support office and explain exactly what you are trying to
do and maybe we can alter the code and create a new
WD_ReportBuilderEnterprise.DLL for you.
Many thanks
