Mail Merge and adding fields to a pipeline

rbuser

I am attempting to add a rich text memo to a report for use as a mail merge
field in a report. The problem I have run across is that I want to be able
to add a merge field in the memo that is not in the default pipeline, in
fact its not even in any pipeline. I have monkeyed around enough to see
that I can add a field to the pipeline and this makes it appear as a usable
field in the memo, but I have yet to figure out how to calculate the value
for the newly added field.

Which event of the pipeline can I use to calculate the field.
OnRecordChange? And how do I go about setting the value?
plData['fieldname'] := 'some text value'?

You can add a new field to the data set and calculated it in the data set's
OnCalculateFields event handler. The field will then be available to the
pipeline just like any other field.
