Saving Reports

edited April 2003 in General
Are there any samples of saving reports to a custom destination (i.e. not
using the built in saving abilities of the reportbuilder libraries. My
scenario is that the report designer is being used as an active x component
in a dotnet app and the data is being stored in a SQL Server database.

I am creating complex reports with subreports, each of these contain data
definitions and also RAP functions which also must be saved at the same
time. On top of this each of the subreports must be saved as a template in
it's own right as they can also be used individually.

I want to tidy the saving process up and the most logical and tidiest way is
to let the DOTNET application take care of it, all of it.

Incidentally the delphi app will load it's own data as I intend to keep the
Datastructure backwards compatible with report builder.

Any help would be much appreciated.

    Conrad,

    What you are trying to do sounds very interesting but I'm afraid I need a
    little more information to understand the exact issue you are having. You
    should be able to save your report to file, using ReportBuilder, and then
    using your .Net app, store that file as a BLOB field in your database.
