Now to the odd things:
1) When using stored procs, the [Build Report] button is there and really has no use if you aren't showing a mix of sprocs and tables or views. If the stored procedures had checkboxes next to them like tables/views do, it would make more sense.
2) If you do click on the [Build Report] button without any tables/views displayed, you get a jscript error.
3) You can't specify the display order for the columns with stored procedures.
4) You can see what the stored procedure parm values are with the back button.
And for one more request: :)
Would it be possible to change the text that displays for a Stored Procedure to something user friendly? For example, my stored procedure name may be "p_Rpt_ReportWriterData", but I would like it displayed as "Data Mine". I can just name my stored procedures what I need displayed, but it does kind of mess up our naming standards. (Programmers are weird that way, aren't we... )
You guys keep up the good work. The Report Wizard just keeps getting better and better.

- You will be able to add Captions to your stored procedure by using an (=) separator with the procedure name as follows:
objWiz.UseProcedures = "Procedure Name=Procedure Caption,ParamName1='ParamValue1',ParamName2=ParamValue2"
For example:
objWiz.UseProcedures = "p_Rpt_ReportWriterData=Data Mine,SomeParam=1, AnotherParam='GIJOE'"
Note: It is not Required that you add a caption to the procedure.
- If
HideViewsandHideTablesare both True, then the Build Report button will not appear on the main page.
- Users will no longer be able to see parameter values
The reason we have not added the functionality of processing stored procedures as if they were tables or views is because we are still working on the best algorithms to process datasets in virtual memory while maintaining reasonable speed, bandwidth and memory usage. Hopefully we will have something soon.
Check tomorrow for the realese!
