Yeah, this is a feature of DataReports. Seems like the recordset is
created when you first run the report...when you close the report, the
recordset stays open. When you run the report again, the recordset
doesn't get refreshed, so you're still looking at the same old data. Of
course, exiting the application and restarting will clear the recordset,
but that's not too elegant, eh?
What worked for me was adding a line of code to the _Terminate event
of the DataReport to close the recordset of the Command on which the
report is based:
DataEnvironment1.rsCommand3.Close
...but my app builds the SQL for the Command and re-Executes it every
time I run the report. Hope the same idea works in your case.
