Problem with inherited Reportbuilder

rbuser

Hi,

I did a Prototyping for our Reports. Just a Report with Title, Detail,
Header and Footer.
If I inherit a new Form from my Prototype and I select the "preview"-Tab and
then go back
to the "design"-Tab, I get the Error-Message: "Footernband is inherited an
can not be renamed!".
(Error-Messages is translated from german, so it may be different in
english. Sorry)

Any Idea????

regards
Rolf

Mixing form inheritance and report templates does not work. You'll have to
pick one approach or the other.

Hi,

What's the best way to inherit a Form with a report on it??
I really need it! We have dozens of programs using the same basic
Report-Layout.
I have to do some coding to fit our needs. So inheritance is required.

Hi Rolf,

I am using form inheritance with my report 'datamodules' too, but I place
the components on the descendant. Works fine for me. I declared properties
for Report and Designer, where the real components are retrieved on runtime
through the GetXYZ method.

Hi Chris,

That sounds good! I'll try this way.
Thanks for your help.
