Losing Pipeline Connections

rbuser

Greetings All,

Why is it that one would lose all the datapipeline connections for all the
objects in a report when you save to a file and then load the from file?
This would complicate things on the client end of the world. One would have
to hook up the pipelines every time we decided to load a new report(s) ...

Thanks,
Tim

Tim:

I save/load from a DB Table and have done so for years. Here are some things
to look at:

1) Determine when it is occuring. Save the RTM file as ASCII and see if the
bound controls reference the pipeline in the saved file.

2) Some things to look at:
A) Do the pipelines exist when the RTM file is loaded?
If you are using TDataModules, and the report is in a different unit:
In the saved file you will see that the pipelines know about the data module
the pipeline is on. Are you changing the name? This is a no-no.

Hey Ed,

1. Are you talking about the collation types in the data settings of the
report (ASCII)? I only have the option to save the external files as a .RTM.

2. The pipelines exist but are not probably active since they are located on
a form. Would this make a difference?

Ok. I'm starting to see the light!
Thanks,
-Tim

May I run a couple ideas by you about report builder?

No. TppReport.Template.Format := ftASCII :-)

Are the pipelines and the report on the same form? Then it should not be an
issue. Look at the RTM files and see how the pipelines are saving.
