- the Link dialog can be used to specify more than one field for the linking
relationship. However, it is true that the fields must belong to the same
master query.

For the Report layout create a main report and subreport. In the subreport
layout, you can connect the relevant DBText to DataPipeline rather than B
main - A
subreport - B
dbText(B) dbText(C)
- define linking relationships from B to A and from C to B.
- for each linking relationship you need to specify that you want the master
records included even when no corresponding detail records exists. If you
are using…

Thanks for the feedback.
The original scope and design, did not include persisting the Undo History.
Perhaps we can add that feature to a future release.
Copying the report structure is probably not a viable option.…
It is working as designed. Prior to Preview, the report layout is saved to
an internal memory stream and then restored upon return from Preview. (Upon
Preview, the RAP code can run during report generation and in doing so can
