Multiple Reports

rbuser

Hi,

I am totally new to rbuilder and news groups in general so I apologize for
my ignorance in advance.
This, i fear, is a simple question but i could not find an answer in the
help .pdf or in any new groups so sorry if it has already been asked and
answered.

My application requires many distinct reports. I tend to calculate values
and create verbiage in code and then set the report variables/components.

What is the best approach when dealing with many reports. Place them all on
the same form/frame and distinctly name the variables/components or place
each on a separate form/frame so generic variable/component names
pplbl_ReportTitle ) can be set?

Is there a third way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Rick Sutton

Rick:

I store all mine in a DB (Paradox, in my case) table. Works real well.

Check out the installed Main reports demo project, which uses one report per
form. Another way to store reports is to place them in files or in a
database. An example of storing them is shown in the installed
..\RBuilder\Demos\EndUser directory. You can save a report to a template
file/db and call Report.Template.LoadFromFile or LoadFromDatabase. See the
RBuilder help file for more info on using report templates.
