Hi.

I need to edit RPT files in runtime...
My client needs a gest program that allows him to configure documents.

In fact, we wants a GUI that allows him to have the same GUI that we, programmers, have when creating a new report...

Is that possible?

I'm getting desesperated...

Thanks

Well, as far as I know, its possible, but it not be a easy task, especially if you have data from several tables shown in report. Why dont you ask your customer to give you a few pattern that report can look so you can make them and allow him to choose which he wants to use?

I never tried it myself, as I said, but if you look at the report object, you will see that Sections collection has ADD/REMOVE methods which will allow sections to be added/removed. Also, section object has several methods to add objects to report, like AddTextObject, AddFieldObject, AddBoxObject, and many more, which will allow you to dinamically add objects to report. With all this methods available, dont see the reason why it shouldnt be possible to create it in runtime.
