I'm trying to create a procedure that will register datasets (only that I need) with friendly field names (IBO has that in fields.DisplayName) in FR's Data Dictionary in field aliases but it doesn't work nor programatically nor manually (FR doesn't save hidden fields and aliases). Here's how I do it in my procedure:

procedure TForm1.FrRegisterDataSet(ds:TIB_DataSet; dsalias:string);
var i: integer;
begin
frReport1.Dictionary.FieldAliases.Variable[ds.Name] := dsalias;
for i := 0 to ds.FieldCount-1 do
begin
if ds.Fields.Visible then // i need only fields that are set as visible in ib_query
frReport1.Dictionary.FieldAliases.Variable[ ds.Name+'."'+ds.Fields[i].FieldName+'"'] := ds.Fields.DisplayName;
end;
end;

Help please...

SORRRY! I solved problem - removed quotas in procedure and recompiled FR

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
