CSV File output.

rbuser

I am trying to export reports into a text file with CSV output. Here's what
I did:
MYCTReport.DeviceType := dtTextFile;
MYCTReport.ShowPrintDialog := False;
MYCTReport.AllowPrintToArchive := False;
MYCTReport.ShowCancelDialog := False;
MYCTReport.AllowPrintToFile := True;
MYCTReport.TextFileName := 'TestFileOutput.csv"
MYCTReport.TextFileType := ftComma;
MYCTReport.Print;

All I get it is an empty csv file with absolutely nothing in it. The report
generates fine
otherwise.

Any clues?

Thanks in advance,
Vikram

Use the PrintToFile dialog to specify which components to export. Or you can
do it programmatically by setting the Save and SaveOrder properties of the
components.

That should have said 'Use the File | Print To File Setup dialog from the
report designer..."

Using the Print dialog is not an option for me. Would be great if you can
elaborate on how I can set the "Save" properties of components I want to
export. So you mean to say RB will only export to CSV for components that
are marked as "Save" ?

Thanks

I set the Save property of my TppDBText's and TppVariable's to True and also
set the SaveOrder property. But it still does not print anything into the
CSV file. The file is empty.
At this time I am only setting the Save property to True for the objects in
the Detail band.

I don't know what the problem is. Is there anything else to set?

Thanks
