HI!

I'm trying to use rb7.03 with DBISAM 4.05.

I have read a lot of documentation about DataDictionary, but I can use it
only in the query.
I would associate the userefriendly fieldname to the fields in the data tree
toolbar too..
The list of that fields comes form a TppDBPipeline..
Is it possible??

Tnx

Dario

    Hi Dario,

    If you right click over the DBPipeline component and select the
    FieldsEditor, you can change the field alias of each field that is sent to
    your report. This will then be reflected in the DataTree of the report
    designer.

    I have no think about a simple solution ;)
    I have tried but it doesn't work.
    I use just one TDBISAMTable, one TDatasource, one TppDBPipeline and my
    report with a designer.
    The component are all connected each other but it shows me the realname
    fields and not the alias in the fields editor of ppDBPipeline..

    What have I forgotten??

    Thanks again

    Hi Dario,

    Yes, but when you run your report, the data tree should show the field
    aliases instead of the actual field names. Below is a quick example I
    created for you that changes the field aliases to be displayed in the data
    tree.

    OK!!

    Now it works!! But I don't know what happen..
    I have tried with a BDEPipeline and it works but it doesn't works with my
    DBPipeline and DBISAMTable.
    I have deleted the DBPipeline and dropped a new one and now everything works
    correctly!!

    Thank you very much for you support!!

    Hi! I have found the problem..

    I'm using rb7.03 with DBISAM 4.05.

    If the property OPENDATASOURCE is set to default (True) and I don't open
    runtime my TDBISAMTable, the fieldalias are correctly assigned to the
    datatree toolbar; but if I decide to open the table I can't see the
    fieldalias in the toolbar and I don't see the displaylabel of the fields of
    the TDBISAMTable, I see only the fieldname!!

    I think this is not correct but maybe I don't know something..

    Thanks again

    Dario
