Datapipelines on the Data-tab of the designer

rbuser

Hi,

How to show the datapipelines created on a delphi-form in the "data"-tab of
the designer? I'ld like to add some new (lookup- or detail-) query within
the report and link them to one of the datasets available from the invoking
form. Can this be done?
Any help appreciated.

best regards

You'll have to dynamically create the dataviews. Here is an example of doing
that. Then you can base the dynamic ones off of the ones on the form by
checking the field objects on the dataset and the SQL or table name on the
data access component if it is a TQuery or TTable respectively. Here are a
couple of helpful examples which are related to this:
