WPTools documents in RB reports?

edited September 2005 in General
I was looking through the WPCubed web site and saw a couple of
references to a Report Builder interface for WPTools. Unforunately
that's all I found. I wold like to find out more about this interface. I
an currently working with a customer LoB application that has both
Report builder and WPTools and have need to be able to integrate
documents generated with WPTools from the database into report built
with RB into the same database.

The WPTools documents are stored in the database and when I try to
insert a DBText object in a report builder report I get the raw data s
if it were a text file, meaning I get all the embedded formatting codes
as if they were part of the text of the document. I would like to be
able to incorporate the formatted document into the report builder
generated reports without having to duplicate every database element
into a separate subreport.

Will this nterface do it?

Thanks for any and all thoughts.

Val

    The ReportBuilder support files for WPTools can be downloaded from the registered user section of WPTools

    What is the advantage of using the WPTools interface, when ReportBuilder
    already renders RTF?

    In the product with which I am working document templates are created in
    WPTools and then the documents that are generated are stored back into
    the database as RTF objects. That's the way the product was built, as to
    why I don't know as that was before I came to the company.

    Do you know if these will do the function I need, namely allow me to
    have the formatted document show up correctly within an RB generated
    report?

    I've never used the WPtools interface in ReportBuilder. I'm pretty sure they will work the way you want. You could confirm with Julian in the WPTools newsgroup.
