Subreport header

ldm75

Hi,
in the user manual in reference to the subreport: "Contrary to other report generators, subreports in FastReport are saved in a separate template page, and not in a separate file."
But if i have more report with identical header, I have to design it in all the reports?

Thanks

Hello,

If you want to share the same report header/footer for many reports, try to use report inheritance. It is described in the user's manual, "Report creation/Report inheritance".

How can I integrate the use of the report inheritance with the need to save reports in the database?

Thanks

You may use the report.LoadBaseReport event to load a base report from any source (for example, from a stream).

Sorry, but i don't find report.LoadBaseReport.
I use FastReport 1.2.38 with vb.net.

Thanks

It's here, I have no idea why you didn't find it.
