UseTableOwnerName

rbuser

All,

Apologies for this simple question, but I have just begun reviewing RB7 for
my employer (defecting from Crystal I hope!)

Using the "UseTableOwnerName" property of the DataDictionary, it would seem
that it prefixes the table names with the current logged in user ID. How can
I tell it to use a different prefix from the User ID for table names?

TIV,

Paul Endersby.

All,

Another question while I'm at it.

On the TppReport component there is a property called ShowAutoSearchDialog.
The property name would seem to suggest that if I have a report with auto
search values in it, then by setting it to false, I can suppress the usual
dialog that it shown (This doesn't happen). My ultimate goal is to show my
own filter dialog. If I am going about this the wrong way then can someone
tell me a better way.

Ta again,

Paul Endersby.

Thankyou for evaluating ReportBuilder 7! You'll can generate additional
entries in the data dictionary to support each table owner name if you want
to control this on a userID level. Our data dictionary end user tables are
not complicated. You don't have to use the data dictionary builder to
generate the entries. You can programatically add entries to customize the
available tables for each user of the database.

There is another alternative. Since the data dictionary is fed data from
datasets on the form, you can always filter these datasets yourself to
control what is passed from the database to the data dictionary.

Please start a new thread for each new question. It might get hard to follow
if there is a long discussion:)

The autosearch dialog is customizable. You can replace roughly 99% of the
forms in RB. There is an example of replacing the autosearch dialog in your
RB installation in the RBuilder\Demos\Autosearch\ directory. You can also
code more if you want, as show in this custom tip we put together:
