Can you write the report header from a table?

  • I am creating a web app that will get the name of the company from a table so the app can be sold to different companies. The reports should have the headers generated from the only row on the 'company' table like the company name, address and phone numbers.

    Should I create a dataset reading from that table and a report generated from this dataset and then use it has a subreport for the rest of the reports? or is there a better way to do it?

  • Not a web expert - but would you write a constant in the web config file or something like that ??

  • The thing is I'm not looking at having the header in the web page but in the actual report. Showing the header in the page is not a problem. But I need it in the report so any printed pages show what company is it from.

  • Got ya - think I'd probably create a report template with the company details as a dataset and placed in the report header and then generate further reports from the template...
