Returning a value from a report

rbuser

Using RB Enterprise 11.04, Delphi 2006. My report is an invoice, the
invoice amount is calculated in the report. How can I return the invoice
amount that is displayed on my report back to Delphi after printing?

Thanks,

David

One option is to use Report.Paramters[ ]. Add a Report.Parameter. Give it a
name and a dataype. Write code inside the report to update the parameter.
Report.Parameters can be access via RAP code and Delphi code.

Nard,

The value I want to return is calculated in a subreport. I have declared a
global variable:

vInvoiceAmount: double;

The invoice amount is calculated in the OnGetText event and at that point, I
set vInvoiceAmount to the calculated amount. The only problem is that I
can't find the right place to assign vInvoiceAmount to my
Report.Parameters['InvoiceAmount'].

Any help is appreciated.

Report.Parameters[ ] is read-only. Try
Report.Parameters.Items['InvoiceAmount'].Value
