Description: How to Download a Report.
All report layouts are stored in the database. In order to modify a report layout, download it to the local hard disk and modify it using Microsoft Report Designer. Anytime columns in the dataset change, download and re-upload the report.
Step 1 - A Folder Navigator will appear when Download is selected (Fig.1).
(Fig.2)
Step 2 - Select the folder to be downloaded to and click OK. Three files will be created in that folder: a solution file (extension sln), a project file (extension rptproj), and the layout file (extension RDL). These are used by the Report Designer (Fig.2).
