RTC reports and Fields!

redking

Hi Guy,

I am trying to move the ship to address details in a sales report to the header section from the body section of a report built by a developper.

When I cut and copy the text, with value: =Fields!ShipToAddr_1_.Value, I get an error when running the report:
"fields cannot be used in page headers or footers"

I tried following this: http://mibuso.com/blogs/alexchow/category/programming/ but either i am doing it wrong or there is a step missing.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi redking,
You can not add fields directly onto the header like this, you need to add them as hidden fields in the body and then refer to it in the header.
Search in this forum and you will find tons of things related to this.

Hi Navian,

this sounds like what Alex Chow wrote about in http://mibuso.com/blogs/alexchow/2010/07/07/how-to-define-setdata-and-getdata-in-rtc-reports-in-dynamics-nav-navision/ but I can't it to work.

Could you show me how?

What Alex wrote is what you need to do (I can't explain it better), the tricky part is finding the tiny hidden field where you need to append the address fields.
