Thank you for responding. I should be more specific.
I can design Reports with ReportBuilder in the traditional method but
I cannot use ReportBuilders End User Feature, and that was the main
reason I purchased ReportBuilder
I have corresponded with Tech support who advise that Report writer
strips the quotes. I can change Reports Writers source but that
presents a whole lot of future problems. It would be much easier to
change the Table and Fields stucture to Uppercase. That way I can use
ReportBuilder "out of the box".
This is what Nard advised "
"- The database is wanting the name to be enclosed in quotes and the
Dade classes are coded to treat a name enclosed in quotes as invalid.
Either the Dade classes need to be changed to handle tables names with
quotes or the plug-in, daIBO.pas, has to handle this by stripping off
the quotes when it builds the list of table names, but them re-adding
quotes whenever it submits SQL to the database. I don't which of these
is easier."
So, easier to change the table stucture IMO.
Any idea's
