Single customer report

rbuser

?I am very new at this game, so apologies is this seems like a very basic
question. I am trying to manipulate the reporting function on a piece of
database software that is running digital metaphors reports. How do I
restrict my report to just one customer rather than have the report show
the details for all the customers in my database?
Thanks.

Hi Gabrielle,

Are you a registered user of ReportBuilder or are you using a piece of
software with ReportBuilder built in? ReportBuilder includes many options
to alter a dataset during execution, the best way being the AutoSearch
feature. Take a look at the AutoSearch Demos located in the
\Demos\AutoSearch\... directory for examples.

Thanks for the post Nico. I am not a registered user of ReportBuilder but
am using a piece of software with ReportBuilder built in. I am trying to
teach myself how to change some of the existing reports that are already
part of the software to make the programme more applicable to my company.
I do not think that I have access to any demos.

Thanks though

Hi Dave,

The link below should set you on the right track.

Article: End-User Tech Support

Please understand that Digital Metaphors can only provide tech support to
the Delphi developers that purchase ReportBuilder. Digital Metaphors
receives no distribution royalties from Delphi developers that embed
end-user reporting solutions in their applications. It is the responsibility
of the software publishers that sold you the product to provide you with
tech support.

There is an end-user tutorial called Learning ReportBuilder that can be
downloaded from our web site for free. See the following article for more
infomation.

Article: Learning ReportBuilder
--------------------------------

Learning ReportBuilder is a complete learning system designed to teach end
users how to build a range of reports. This system includes a 125-page PDF
file, a stand-alone application complete with a database, and a help file.
The PDF file is comprised of a series of tutorials that step end users
through the process of building reports as simple as a table listing and as
complex as crosstabs. The tutorials also introduce conceptual aspects of
report building along the way. The application is used in conjunction with
the tutorials so that the learning experience is interactive. The end user
just prints out the PDF file, runs the application, and learns
ReportBuilder. The help file is accessible from the application, so all
three tools work together to provide a seamless learning environment.

Learning ReportBuilder installs into C:\Program Files\LearnReportBuilder.
When the system has successfully installed, a complete set of instructions
appears in the form of a 'ReadMe' doc, so the end user knows just what to do
upon installation.
