Retrieving ppReport.TextFileName

rbuser

I have 2 reports where the detail lines are printed to a CSV text file.
The user has the ability to change the file name at run time. I need to
append data from 2nd report to the first. My problem is getting the name
& path the user used to save the first report to. ppReport.TextFileName
is not updated when the user changes the name. Any suggestions?

Hi Jim,

Try accessing the file name directly from the file device once the report
has started generating or after the report has printed. Something like the
following...

if Report.FileDevice <> nil then
lsTextFileName := Report.FileDevice.FileName;

Thanks for your help. It worked.
After a couple tries, found that adding your code to the report's
OnPrintingComplete event.

Thanks again
Jim
