Inherited... Help please!!!

rbuser

Dears,

I created a form that I will use as "base" for selection of reports in my
project. In this form, I added the following components:
- ppReport
- ppHeaderBand (default header)
- ppDetailBand
- ppFooterBand (default footer)

After that, I inherited a new form starting from my form "base." However,
when I open the report to modify the report, you happens errors as for
instance:

Cannot rename component "Pipe_MyComponentppField6", component was introduced
in an ancestor form.

My questions:
- Can I work with inheritance with Report Builder?
- How to solve the problem above?
- I need to have a form "base" with my standard header and standard footer

Thank you very much,
[]s,
Alessandro Ferreira.

Hi Alessandro,

ReportBuilder supports limited form inheritance. You can only place the
report object on the ancestor form. It looks as though you also have your
datapipeline present on your ancestor form. Then when the descendant tries
to autocreate these fields, you run into problems. Try moving the
datapipeline to the descendant form and see how that works.

Hi Nico,

The problem was in the component DataPipeLine...
I changed the property AutoCreateFields=False and you perfectly worked.

Thank you,
