Distribution of Report Template Files

rbuser

When I distribute report templates as rtm files, I want to be able to
incorporate the reports into the Report Explorer without the client's
intervention.

The templates get saved into the rbItem table with the following code.

Report.Template.LoadFromFile;
Report.Template.SaveToDatabase;

However, the columns (FolderID, Size, ItemType, Modified) are not
populated and the report does not appear in the Report Explorer.

Is there a way of incorporating the reports into Report Explorer without
populating the (FolderID, Size, ItemType, Modified) columns in code?

What is the best way of distributing reports?

Thank you.

Richard Harding.
