Good morning,

I’ve got a project dedicated to back-end tasks, including setting up reports. I’ve got a separate project for my vision client and would like to have a Report Viewer component display reports from this other project. Is that possible? I see that I can execute the report from another project through scripting, but when looking at the Report Path property in the Report Viewer, I don’t seem to have access to those reports and when binding from a list of reports from the other project it doesn’t seem to load properly.

You could do this in 8+ through project inheritance. Make the parent project have the reports and then your backend task project and your vision client project can both inherit from it.

That seemed to work perfectly. Thank you so much!
