changing labels in code that are part of DetailBand

rbuser

I am using Delphi 7 with reportbuilder pro 7.03

I have a query running that populates my report...what I need to do, is
figure out a way so that if a field in the query is a certain letter, then
my code will set a label on my report to the long description of it.
I've tried doing this, and it just sets all of them to the first records
letter, rather than continuing through each record...
Any help available out there?

Hi Brandie,

It looks as though you may not have your report connected to the proper
datapipeline. A report in ReportBuilder will only traverse a single dataset
(connected to a pipeline) that you select. Click the Report | Data option
in the designers main menu and be sure your main report is connected to the
right pipeline.

Also, which event are you setting this text? I would suggest using the
DetailBand.BeforePrint event to check the letter field and update the
Label's text accordingly.

Hey Nico, thanks...I DID have a pipeline connected to it...
It was the DetailBand.BeforePrint event that worked for me...thanks so much
for the assistance.
