In quickreport sample this code works fine (I’ve hooked the sample up to an application) sbmfile1 =@ appw.app.WAGES.sbme table1 =@ appw.app.WAGES ds1 =@ qr.adddatasource(sbmfile1.type,”wages.sbm”, sbmfile1, error=e) qr.addtable(table1, ds1, error=e) BUT, instead of “wages”, I’d just like to use sbmfile1.filename So that I can standardized this Unfortunately, the smbfile1.filename = “C:SimpolProjectsPayroll4bin/wages.sbm” why the forward slash?
