I need help using ReportSmith with Delphi 1
Three problems that I haven't found a solution for:
1) How do I pass information into "report variables" from my Delphi
application?
I tried to follow the example in the book using the Initial Values
(stringlist) but I must
not be coding it correctly. When ReportSmith activates, it still
requests me for the
"report variables"
2) When I'm developing the reports, I am working in a directory. I
haven't found a way
to put the reports into a different directory with the databases
required and then direct
ReportSmith to find the report there. It still wants to go to the
development directory.
I solved this kind of a problem in my Delphi application with an
"INI" file/database. I
think I tried setting the ReportDir property from inside the
application, but will have to check that again.
3) Last problem is really weird. I developed a lot of reports being
run from different forms.
Some of them work, some of them don't!! The ones that don't start
ReportSmith, but the
report doesn't show up. I just get a blank screen in ReportSmith.
If I click on "Open",
the open directory is the one which has the report. If I then click
on the report that was
supposed to run, I get the report as expected. Can somebody tell
my why ReportSmith
refuses to find and run the report?
Thanks a lot in advance
