Hello, again.
So, i got started with ActiveReports.
Basic theory of operations seems to be clear... There's only one thing i could not figure out:
- how do i pass data from VB6 directly to the report, without binding it to a database?
All database handling is done by the app i work on.
My app itself does the reports / documents and all data is stored in a UDT with a header, a footer and details.
Details usually consist of a couple of lines (grouped in an array).
Private type InvoiceStruct
Header as string
Lines() as string
Footer as string
end type
How can i pass a data type (whatever type) to an unbound report, for it to print?
Do i really have to export to a XML / MDB and bind the report to that, separately ?
