ParentDataPipeline Property problem

rbuser

I have template file loaded into a ppReport component at run time. The
template has several "TDBText" components.

Each of the above text components has the "ParentDataPipeline" property
= True and their properties for 'DataPipeline" is empty.

In RB 6.xx, this template works great.

In RB 7.xx, it will not work unless I assign the "DataPipeline" property
of each text component to the actual datapipeline component. Also the
setting of "ParentDataPipeline" can be set to true or false with no
difference in the report result.

What must I do to get the "ParentDataPipeline" property to work
correctly as documented in RB 7.x?

Thanks for the help

I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior using RB 7.

1. Created a report with one pipeline (BioLife table in DBDemos)

2. Added dbText in detail band.

3. Set ParentDataPipeline True on the dbText

4. Connected dbText to field in pipeline.

5. Ran report, worked perfectly.

6. Saved report to template file with report pipeline assigned

7. Saved report to template file with report pipeline unassigned and dbText
pipeline unassigned

8. Loaded template #6 at runtime and it generated correctly.

9. Loaded template #7 at runtime and the generated report had no data as
expected.

10. Loaded template #7 at runtime, connected datapipeline and the generated
report had data as expected.

Can you send a demo report to support@digital-metaphors.com that shows the
problem?

Thanks Jim for the examples. I can duplicate your examples fine. I believe
the difference in what I did and what you tried was that I loaded a
pre-existing template rtm file from a RB 6.x application "at runtime" and tried
to print it with RB 7 packages.

Could you send a simple example to support@digital-metaphors.com that shows
the problem? We'll take a look at it.
