In RAP (if you're application author included it), you will have to use a
method call on the report called GetAutosearchDescriptionLines. Then pass
the lines into a memo control in the report layout to display the lines. If
you don't … -
Yes, you should upgrade your version of RB to 7.01, if you are using an
older version of RB which does not have the new support for the Advantage
Data Dictionaries.

I checked our logs and RB 6.03 shouldn't have a problem using the ini file
