URGENT: Unbound Fields and ADO Object?

[erinallen]

I am creating an application that takes information from a user to build a "template" rpt file. At this point I know what fields, and what order the user wants them. I used unbound fields to create the template rpt file.

Later, another user runs the template rpt to produce a letter with the data in it.

How do I get the data (in ADO, but its active data compiled from multiple database calls) into the report?

Do I have to create a data definition file with the template? How do I do this and join it to my template rpt? The Template RPT is a modified copy of another style rpt file created before the application runs.

Use the Active Data driver and a ttx file.

I'm creating the rpt during runtime, how do I associated a ttx file to a newly created rpt file at runtime?

I think you are after CreateFieldDefFile() and CreateReportOnRuntimeDS().

Have you looked at this article yet?

Let us know how you get on.

I took a look at the KB, but it doesn't really help.

I can't use the CreateReportOnRuntimeDS() function because I already have an rpt file created that just needs to be filled in with the data fields the user selected for the report.
