Is it possible to access a variable inside a report from a form via get-function?

kenyo

Hi so i try to run a report after clicking a button in my form and afterwards update some formfields with variables stored in the report. Is that possible? Even though i declared the report as global variable in my form it says variable not found when i try to use the get-function.

Hi,

you have to create a global function in your report that returns the value and call this from the form.
Don't forget to clear the Local=Yes property of the function.
After you created the function (or modified the property) you will need to close and reopen your Form in the designer in order to see the modifier interface to the report.
