Printing the Name or Path of the report's rtm file

rbuser

How do I print the actual filename of the rtm file at the bottom of my
report? I tried using DocumentName but it just prints the name of the
reportbuilder's report component name.

To make things muddier, I have a dynamic report where they can print up to
10 reports at once by loading them into subreports, so simply writing a
pipeline where I dump them is difficult as well. Hoping there is is a
system field like documentName available but prints the physical rtm
filename.

Thanks,

Hi Karen,

You can use the template event OnLoadEnd to access the
Report.Template.FileName and remove the file path if you would like. Check
out the article below on using the template events.

----------------------------------------------
Tech Tip: Using Template Events
----------------------------------------------

The Report.Template object has several events that can be used for
customizing what happens when a report is loaded or saved:

- OnLoadStart
- OnLoadEnd
- OnNew
- OnSaveStart
- OnSaveEnd


The OnLoadEnd and OnNew events are often used to perform actions related
to report and data initialization.

The OnSaveEnd event is often used to save additional descriptive
("meta") data to the database each time the report is saved.

Example:

The Report.Template events are public and therefore must be assigned at
run-time.


1. In the private section of your form declaration you can declare an
event-handler method:

TForm = class(TForm)
private
procedure myTemplateOnLoadEndEvent(Sender: TObject);

public

end;


2. In the Form.OnCreate event, you can assign the event-handler to the
event:

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin

ppReport1.Template.OnLoadEnd := myTemplateOnLoadEndEvent;

end;


3. Implement the event-handler method:

procedure TForm1.myTemplateOnLoadEndEvent(Sender: TObject);
begin

{add code here to initial the report or data, etc. }
ppReport1.PrinterSetup.MarginTop := 0.5;

end;
