TppDesigner and MIDAS

rbuser

I am using ReportBuilder Enterprise version 6.

We have a program which lets end users design their own reports. This uses
TppDesigner. I just looked at this and found it requires BDE. All our other
programs use an application server via MIDAS.

So I made code changes to use ClientDataSets and Midas. I can logon to
database OK and open designer for new report. However if I try and add a
table to report it cant find the database. This is because the database is
not on my machine its on the server.

How do I setup TppDesigner to work with remote databases over MIDAS ?

Thanks,

Check the end user Midas demo at
http://www.digital-metaphors.com/tips/Midas.zip. If you want to use the
Midas connection for report queries as well then you'll need to download the
Midas DADE plugin from
http://www.digital-metaphors.com/rcl/dade/daMidas.zip.

Alexander,

Thanks for the swift response.

I have a couple of issues with the demo on the client side. The unit
myeuRpt.pas contains a reference to ppFormWrapper. This unit is nowhere on
my computer.

Removing it from uses clause. The same unit refers to a type
TCustomClientDataSet which I dont have.

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

'TCustomClientDataSet' was introduced in D6.

You should be able to remove ppFormWrapper from the uses and change the
ppCustomClientDataSet reference to ppClientDataSet.

Whats the x in RB6.x, upgrade to 6.03 if you have 6.02 or lower.
