Mapping database fields
The Map Fields dialog box allows you to link report fields to their
corresponding database fields when you have made changes to the structure
of the database, or when you have created a report based on one database
from a template of another report based on some other database that has
the same table and field structure. In this way, the dialog box helps you to
make sure your reports print with the current version of the active database.
When you first create a report, the report draws its fields from the database
as it exists at the time. If you change the structure of the database after you
create the report, the program needs to adapt the report to the new structure.
About the Map Fields dialog box
The Map Fields dialog box contains four boxes:
• The upper-left box displays the names of all unmapped report fields (for
which the program detects a change in the active database). The top
name is selected by default.
• The upper-right box displays the names of unmapped database fields (in
which the program detects a change). Since the Match Type box is
selected by default, this box displays only the names of unmapped
database fields of the same type as the unmapped report field you
selected in the upper-left box. To display all unmapped database fields,
regardless of type, clear the Match Type box.
• The lower-left box displays the names of mapped report fields. When you
map fields in the upper boxes, they appear in the lower boxes.
