report collection based on one layout

rbuser

Hi,

what is the best way to do this: build a collection of reports that all
have the same layout for title, summary but with different content. It
should be possible to change the header layout and see this changes in
all other reports automatically (perhabs only with recompilation)

some ideas I have:
- build a template for layout and summary and try to load them as
templates (don't know if this is possible)
- build a base report and inherit all other reports from it (inherit
the underlaying formular)



thanks,
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich,

Your first option would definitely be easier and is what we designed
ReportBuilder to do. Take a look at the following example of loading a
template into a subreport located in the header of another report. This
should get you on the right track for what you are trying to accomplish.
