in No data Pipelines available in the end user report - IBO Comment by nardmoseley September 2005

1. If you have two reports/subreports connected to the same datapipeline and

One way to do this is to use the Report.Template object to load the .rtm
file and then save it to the database.

1. Load the .rtm file

1. The rbItems and rbFolders tables are no different from other database
tables, so I think using a script should work fine.

2. Another option is to export the reports to .rtm files and then import the
.rtm files into th…

We have not had reports of anything like this from other customers. Try to
recreate the error by running the application under the Delphi debugger.

I recommend upgrading to RB Enterprise. The requirement you describe is
exactly what RB Enterprise provides an powerful, elegant solution for.

With RB Professional the end-user reports are more limited. Any code that

in Calculated Fields Comment by nardmoseley September 2005

RB Enterprise includes a Calc workspace that provides a run-time Pascal
environment for coding calculations and event-handlers. This enables the
code to be saved as part of the report definition - outside of the

in Totalling a field from a sub-report to its master report. Comment by nardmoseley October 2005

The basic approach is to use the subreport to update a TppVariable that
resides in the main report. If you are using RAP code to implement this,
then you need to create global var in RAP that provides a reference to the

That error message indicates that the report template contains a reference
to a event-handler method called "ppVarOtherFeesTotal.OnCalc" that cannot be
