Filtering reportdata in ReportBuilder just before printing

rbuser

Hello,

I'm customizing a report for one of our customers. The program delivers an
ADO recordset with data to ReportBuilder and now I want to filter out some
of these records. So that not all of the records in the ADO recordset will
be printed.
Modifying the application is not possible, so I have to filter in
ReportBuilder.

The records with a startdate which is smaller than the currunt date must be
skipped or deleted. The startdate is as a string-value present in the ADO
recordset.

Now is my question: How can I do this filtering in ReportBuilder. Adding a
filter on the ADO recordset or delete some rows in the ADO recordset or skip
these records on another way?

We are using ReportBuilder 7.02.

Thanks en regards
Hanjo Willems

Hi Hanjo,

ReportBuilder has an AutoSearch feature that will allow you to alter the
search criteria during report generation, changing outputed data. Inside
the query designer in DADE, it is possible to assign autosearch values. If
you are not using the end-user designer, you can still use the autosearch
feature. Take a look at the AutoSearch demos located inside the
\RBuilder\Demos\5. AutoSearch\ directory.
