copy/paste controls from report 1 to report 2

rbuser

I have realized a common header o my reports.
This header is the same in numerous reports.
When I change this header is it possible to copy/paste controls from one
report to another ?

thanks

Hi Rodolfo,

An easier way to do this would be to place a subreport inside each header of
your reports and load a common template into each subreport, taking the
place of the header. This way you will just have to change one template
file instead of copy/pasting to every report. The example below gives a
good example of how this can be done.

Thanks but I think there is a bug in reportbuilder 7.3 for delphi 5:
in the designer I open a report, select some controls and then Edit->Copy.
Now I open another file but the Edit->Paste isnt enabled.
If I repeat 2 or 3 times: the second or the third time I can paste.
Any tips ?

Thanks

I have noted that if, before I load the second report, I save the first, the
past function normally.
Then to copy/paste controls from a report to another I must:
- open first report
- select controls
- Edit->copy
- File->save
- File->open (the second report)
- Edit->Paste

Hi Rodolfo,

Are you experiencing this problem at runtime or designtime? Are you able to
recreate it using our EndUser demos? In my testing (using the designer at
designtime and EndUser demo at runtime) I was not able to recreate this
behavior.

I have experienced this problem at runtime.
I try an experiment with your EndUser demo.

Hi Rodolfo,

I am still unable to recreate this behavior on my machine. Which edition of
RB are you using, ie. Standard, Pro, Enterprise...? Please provide the
exact steps you took to recreate the issue using our End-User demo so I can
recreate it and find a quick solution for you.
