how to send a data from delphi codes to report builder

rbuser

Hi experts,

I'm not sure if the subject is correct but let me brief to you my problem.
Actually the problem is very simple its just that i don't know how to fix
it. Anyway here it is.

I have made to date time picker on my delphi program which identifies the
transaction From and transaction TO. Now when clicking the print button, the
query will be created with those records that matches the From and TO. Here
is my problem. How will I send those transaction From and TO to the report
since I need this to be put on the heading.

Sorry guys, i'm still a beginner on report builder. I'm using Delphi 6 and
RB6Enterprise.

You can define ask at runtime crieria by using ReportBuilder AutoSearch
parameter feature. (see article below).

To print the AutoSearch parameter values in the heading of the report, use
the Report.AutoSearchDescription property or the
Report.GetAutoSearchDescriptionLines method. For an example, check out
RBuilder\Demos\AutoSearch\Build Description of AutoSearch Settings

1. Access the Data workspace of the Report Designer.

2. Create a DataView using the Query Wizard or Query Designer.

2. A DataView tool window will be displayed in the data workspace.

3. Press the Search button. The Search tab of the Query Designer will be
displayed.

4. Add a search criteria item and select the AutoSearch checkbox. You can
optionally select Mandatory as desired.
