Table Set to 'Active' on open of Report Designer

rbuser

Hi,

It appears that when I open the report designer, Table.Active (for the
table connected via the pipeline into the report) is set to 'True'.
Can anyone give me a hint as to how to keep the Table.Active property
at the setting (True or False) that I set it to?

thanks,
Phil

Hi Philip,

There is no way, because there is no Dataset property for this design
problem.
But if you uses a Database component (I recommend this), you can set the
'Connected' property to False before compiling and saving.
I use descendants of TDataset/TDatabase components which are always saved as
inactive.
(property Active stored False).

Chris,

Thanks for the info. I'll look at the custom descendants of
TDataset/TDatabase for the next project.

Thanks,
Phil

Is the PipeLine property:
property CloseDataSource: Boolean;
any use here?

BTW I always scan (with GREP) all the DFM's for "Active ="
to catch this. Setting the above property to True seemed to help.
