    Hi!

    I have my reports in a database in a binary format.

    What can I do to convert my reports to a ascii format? in code with out the
    report designer.


    I'm doing this (Note: I'm have Report Builder 7 and FIBPlus):

    lReport.Template.DatabaseSettings.NameField := 'NAME';
    lReport.Template.DatabaseSettings.TemplateField := 'TEMPLATE';
    lReport.Template.DatabaseSettings.DataPipeline := plItems;
    lReport.Template.DatabaseSettings.DataPipeline.Visible := False;
    lReport.Template.SaveTo := stDatabase;

    lReport.Template.DatabaseSettings.Name :=
    dtstItems.FieldByName('NAME').AsString;
    lReport.Template.LoadFromDatabase;
    lReport.Template.Format := ftAscii;

    lReport.Template.SaveToDatabase; {***} // In this line raise an exception
    "DefaultFIBDataBase: Cannot perform operation - DB is not open".
    {***}// but what
    DB? my DB where my reports are stored is already connected.


    Thanks!
