Is this possible whit ReportBuilder ?

edited November 2004 in General
Hi,

I'm looking right now for a descent report generator. I heard a lot of
goodness on reportbuilder.
Before changing all my code and downloading a trial version, I really want
to now if reportbuilder can do this :

- Load / Save "Designed" reports from Stream.
- Load / Save "Builded" reports

Make composite report with Designed reports : load one designed report;
build it, load a second designed report and build it and so on... then print
them all.
Make composite report with Builded reports : load one builded report, load a
second builded report and so on.... then print them all.

Thank you for your answer :)

    Load / Save "Designed" reports from Stream - yes, but you must override
    TppArchiveReader class (protected methods CreateStream and FreeStream) or
    through the file, DB support is in TppDBArchiveReader.

    Load / Save "Builded" reports - yes, you can save rendered reports to RB
    native format and read them back through TppArchiveReader.

    Composite reports are created by subreports and each subreport can work as
    individual report - the only limitation I thing is datasource defined as a
    part of the report definition. Each subreport can have its own page layout
    and orientation.

    In fact I didn't find any task not realizable by RB, but I recommend to use
    Enterprise version to get all functionality including RAP, end-user designer
    etc.
