You can use variables with the Report Explorer by putting the TppVariable.OnCalc events in the Explorer form unit. However the best way to use variables in an end-user application would be to use Report Application Pascal, included with ReportBuilder 7.02 Enterprise Edition. Report Application Pascal (RAP) is ReportBuilder's run-time Pascal development environment! RAP enables the entire report definition (Data, Calculations, and Layout) to be stored outside of the application executable. Using RB Enterprise, developers and end-users can code calculations and event-handlers without Delphi. RAP is extensible - which means developers can easily register their own built-in functions and objects to meet specific requirements.
Comments
yes, you need the Enterprise or Server edition if you need the runtime scripting feature.
