Get the string value from the option number

tooo

i have these pieces of code, DocTypeFilter is always returning nothing, can't figure it out!?

Is in the Report - OnPreReport() trigger.

DocTypeFilter := "Cust. Ledger Entry".GETFILTER("Document Type");

Is in the Cust. Ledger Entry - OnAfterGetRecord() trigger.

IF DocTypeFilter = "Document Type" THEN BEGIN

awarn

Perhaps the report is not being filtered by the user?

Belias

IF DocTypeFilter = "Document Type" THEN BEGIN

try to write

IF DocTypeFilter = format("Document Type") THEN BEGIN

anyway, if your filter is for example 'A|B' you will never obtain true from this statement...

Its is being set as im trying to do it here.

The filter is only ever one option, its like: 'bank',payment,invoice,credit memo,receipt etc..

Maybe you clear the filter before using GetFilter.
Perhaps putting your code here will help us see where the problem is.

Try to place the code reading the filter into the OnPreDataItem instead OnPreReport.
