Hello,

I would like to know if it’s possible to copy a data provider from a document to an other document, and how to do that?

Thank you,

There is no built-in functionality, but you can use this utility as a workaround … Copy Data Providers / Copy Report Variables

Jenny,

Dwayne’s excellent solution works for Desktop Intelligence only. Is that what you wanted?

I dont think there is to be honest, but I think BO need to look at the object repository functionality in Crystal Reports and implement that in WEBI and Deski.

Now that would be amazing. In fact, use the formula language from Crystal as it’s more powerful and augment it with BO report specific functionality.
