Archived as SubReport Template

rbuser

I am hoping that I can do this.
I need to save off a small report that appears in the top right of all
reports we print off. It includes some basic patient information that is
used by Medical records to track the charts. Right now this report is
used as a template for a subreport.
I would like to save this report as an archiveed report and then use
that archived report as the template for the subreport.

Essentially having an archived report print in the top right of all
reports that print.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Ross

Hi Ross,

It is possible to extract draw commands from an archive and place them in a
report but you will need to know which type of draw commands they are and
exactly where they are located. A small example of this technique is
demonstrated in the example below. This example creates an archive device
and extracts the draw commands from each page in an archive. As an
alternative, I would recommend saving your report as a template and load
that into a subreport at the top right of your main report.

This is what I am doing now. The problem comes in that I need a snapshot
of the certain data at the time the report is created. I was hoping to
not have to figure out a method of extracting it but to get it this way.
I will take a look at the example you provided to see the feasability.

Thanks,
Ross
