ReportTemplateVolume

edited March 2008 in Server
I store the report name and UNC file PATH and name in the database, not the
report TEMPLATE; is there a way of using any of the RB Server "Volume"
components to that effect, because they only seem to use the database if the
report template is saved as a BLOB, not as a filename?

Thanks,
Jason.

    I emailed you a enhancement patch for RB 10.07 that enables the Template
    field to be of type String and contain a file name.

    I am not sure about UNC file names - I am hoping that is handed by the VCL
    or Windows functions used by the VCL. I tested on a standard file name and
    it worked.

    Yes, have copied on the patch and it works like a charm, thank you very very
    much. I can also confirm it works no problems with UNC file names.

    Great to hear that it is working - that enhancement will be included in the
    RB Server code base going forward!
