RB online help problem

edited July 2002 in General
Hi.

Looking for the online help on DataSettings | DatabaseName I get

<<
Run-time and read-only. Use the CurrentReport property to access the current
report being designed by the end-user. The CurrentReport may be the main
report or a subreport. When a report contains subreports there are separate
tabs in the report designer used to access the design layout of the main
report and each of the subreports. Thus the value of the CurrentReport
property changes as the user accesses each tab.

Which, funnily enough, is identical to the CurrentReport online help entry.

The question I had at the time was what this database was being hooked up
for - data for the reports, getting info about the folders, the data
dictionary, etc - so I could hook up the correct database.

Thanks,

Lauchlan Mackinnon.

    The mismatching help descriptions have been fixed for the next release. The
    DatabaseName and the DataSettings is used to execute the queries for the
    report. For correctly hooking up datasets for the folder/item/join/data
    dictionary info please see the end user examples.
