Did you try running the demo I posted a link to? The demo is in RB 7
format. There is some info about how to do it at the top of the form of
that project:

Add an ID field to the database table for the folders and items so that you
can add a filter on the folder and item datasets when the user runs the
application. That would be the easiest away to do it.

Works fine in tests here using ReportBuilder 7. What version are you using?
May I email you my test project and you can send it back with any changes to
show the problem? Perhaps there is something else I'm missing that you've
added.<… -
That does cause an AV. I added an exception with an appropriate message when
the join field can't be found in the fields table of the data dictionary.
Thanks for posting your findings.

Using ADO, we have not been able to get some of the databases you mention to
work in the end user solution. There is a data connectivity grid in the
RBuilder.hlp file under History of ReportBuilder Versions | What's New for

Check the BuilderSettings on the Data Dictionary. Make sure DatabaseName and
SessionType are correct. The SessionType should be ADOSession. Can you
access the server data in a Delphi app using DBGrids without RB involved?
Do you get the AV without an MDI child app? I will email you a couple of
patches which have the latest fixes, until the next release, which should be
very soon.

RAP documentation is not distributed, as it is a double top secret class

You can replace the query tools and increase the width of the list boxes by

the list of values and then check its count property. Here is an example:
