The FieldAlias in DataPipeLine

rbuser

Hi all,

I am writting a End-user reporting program. In the End User Report Design
screen, since the fields name of the table are not presentable, so I want to
change them by changing the TppDBPipeLine.TppField.FieldAlias to a more
presentable wording(By double clicking the DBPipeLine and do this in Field
Editor). However, I found that this FieldAlias only work if I designs report
in Delphi, but does not work in End User report designer. What wrong with
me?

Thanks,
Raymond Ng.

You need to set AutoCreateFields to false after you setup the pipeline on
the form with your field aliases. The reason is that the pipeline will
recreate the fields at runtime in the end user environment, thus clearing
your aliases you defined at Delphi design time.
