Preparing Reports

rbuser

Hi there,
Hoping someone can help. I have a number of reports 7... to be exact...all
seperate reports. I need to have a summary report that contains information
from each of these reports. Is there some way I can prepare the reports
without displaying them so that I can have access to a calculated field or
variable on these reports. I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with Quick
Reports but with that I would be able to use ReportName.Prepare to access
any report but not display. Does Report Builder have a similar ability or
perhaps someone know's a way around this.
Thanks for all and any help
Denise

Hi Denise,

It is possible to generate a report completely to memory by createing an
empty device and calling Report.PrintToDevices. Then you will have access
to the "prepared" reports for use in another report. Below is an example of
generating a report to memory.
