Change Report Caption in Runtime?

groover

Is it possible to change the caption of a report in runtime?
It seems that when printing a report (to file), the caption is used as report name. Instead of "Sales - Invoice", I would like the report name to be something like "Invoice_12345_customer_10000".
Printing to HTML is not an option because - by default:
- the layout is messed up completely
- the URL is included as a page footer.

Any suggestions?

Hello you can use pdfcreator and you can set the filename you want to save it as in runtime.

... but for some reason PDFCreator is not working in my machine. Probably a bad configuration.
I have built an alternative solution in the meantime, using a copy of the standard report 206 and Fineprint PDFFactory as PDFWriter:
- change the name of the report in the Object table;
- print the report to PDF as Invoice_2007050800.pdf;
- change the name of the report.

Yeah I did that for one our clients a while back. It's not a good solution, but workable.

I solved the problem using Multilanguage. I added a language with one name, and changed the language in runtime.
