Report Explorer Save and Save As

Hi,

Using RB 11.06 and D2010.

I have a project upgraded from BDE to ADO components running against MS SQL
Svr. I'm puzzled by an issue in the (custom) end user report explorer which
always brings up the Save As dialog following amendment of an existing
report instead of just saving it.

Any ideas where I might look for this issue please?

It also exhibits the same behavior using the standard RB report explorer.

The templates are saved to database and I think it may be related to the
RBITEM ITEMID field and or the correct place to assign the new value to the
ITEMID now that the fields are no longer paradox autoinc fields.

It would be very useful to have a GetItemID event surfaced in the explorer
for this case.

I'm also having other issues getting it to work using a separate template
pipeline rather than accessing it from the items pipeline (changing this for
performance reasons). It seems difficult to find a suitable point in the
code to synch the ITEMID value for the items and templates pipelines.

Checked help, looked at similar examples, failed, reached breaking point,
help!!

Regards, Paul.

    Hi Paul,

    Are you able to recreate these issues using the SQL Server end-user example?
    This example is set up a bit differently than the Paradox example and in my
    testing, the save as dialog only appears when I select the option in the
    file menu on an existing template. Give me the steps I can take to recreate
    the issue and I will try to track down the problem.

    Hi Paul,

    Is the file name "New Report"? If so, you will always see a Save As dialog.
    This is to get the user to give the report a unique name. If you would like
    to simply save the file, you will need to be sure your report(s) are named
    something different.

    I agree. This is however the standard used when creating new documents in
    any of the Microsoft Office applications. I will change this so it only
    performs a Save As when "New Report" is at the beginning of the file name.
