I need to make a copy of an existing Data Dynamics ActiveReports 2.0 report file, rename it and change a few things; then, and use the new report in my existing vb6 project. Of course, I can copy the report files using explorer; however, the project does not "see" them. The files I see end in "dca", "dsx", "dsr". Looks like there are three files per report. Does anyone know what I am dealing with? Thanks.
You'll need a copy of each type. DSR file (report designer) is what you will add to your VB project from Project -> Add File menu.
You may also have the RPX wich is simply an xml file that stores report definition - you may create that file directly from designer.
Also, RPXs are viewable in Notepad.
Also (and I forgot to mention this in my first reply) you can use Save As feature in your project to create new copy of any object (form, report, class, module,...)
