DADE Designer queries/Field alias

edited January 2003 in DADE
I have a End-User application using RAP and DADE and i think i found a
bug in reportbuilder (D5 RB7.0). If i create my pipelines with the
QueryDesigner without changing field aliases all works fine.
If i change 1 field alias (clicking twice on the autogenerated alias and
typing my alias) when the report prints, the pipeline seems not to be
opened! The SubReport using this pipeline doesnt print. I found a
strange behaviour if i add a RAP event 'onprint' on this subreport doing
a Showmessage(1 field with alias changed) the Subreport prints the
correct number if times and the field chosen is displayed normally in
the subreport but all other fields are not displayed until i add them in
a RAP event...
I hope I'm clear enough but feel free to ask me more explanations if i'm
not.

Best regards,
Frederic.

    Is the datapipeline assigned to the subreport? Check the Report | Data menu
    from inside the subreport layout in the designer. Are the fields connected
    to the datapipeline and datafields? Is ParentDatapipeline set to true on
    the data aware controls? Can you send an example using DBDEMOS data to
    support@digital-metaphors.com?
