Fields

rbuser

Instead of use a datapipeline?s field, i want to put a memo in my
report, and the text of this memo would be something like:

[Query1."NAME"]

is this possible?

Hi Marcelo,

The best way to get data into a report is by using a datapipeline. You
could hook a datapipeline up to your query and display the NAME field in a
DBMemo component. Let me know if I'm not understanding what you are trying
to accomplish.

ok, but i want to put 2 or 3 fields in the same memo.

it works using a RichEdit, and property MailMerge to true.

thanks

Hi Marcelo,

Unfortunately DBMemo components can only hold only one field. As an
alternative, you might try placing multiple DBTexts/DBMemos inside a
TppRegion with the KeepTogether property set to true. This may give you the
results you are after.

OR,

use a RichEdit with mailmerge option -> true?

Hi Marcelo,

Yes, you could possibly use the RichText Mail Merge feature to do this,
however I'm not sure you are going to get the output display you desire.
Try it and see how it goes. If you need an example of using the Mail Merge,
please see demo number 28 (dm0028.pas) located in the
\RBuilder\Demos\Reports\...directory.
