Network report setup

Post by David_Madison_(Guest) » Tue Jan 08, 2002 2:21 pm

I^m looking for some direction on how to setup the location of RR report files on a network, and then how to point the rruntime to that location.____I^m calling the rruntime from visual dbase using a control file with this code:____? run(true,"RRWRUN &lc_reptpara &lc_recno /wy /h /b /O&lc_tempfile") ____The problem I am struggling with is how to specify the location of the report files themselves, which are located on one machine on the network, when running from various machines on the network.____Would this be done with the individual RRW.INI files on each machine? or in the calling code?____I would appreciate any suggestions or direction.____Thanks____

In your control file you can supply an explicit path along with the report name in RI_REPORT.____If you do not include a path, then the LibDir within RRW.INI will be used.____Alternatively if there is no path in the control file record, you add a /R<pathname> on the runtime command line and that will take precedence over what is in the INI.__Kathleen__R&R Support
