A report was created with "Qualified Names" turned on and fields added to the report. When you go into the report after saving it, the "Qualified Names" is turned off. If you do not explicitly select qualified names everytime you edit the report, the fields that were setup using a qualified name resort to a default table which is not what was intended. Can this setting be persisted for the report?

Hi Paul,

Has this issue regarding qualified names been resolved? Are you using Report Assist or Report Painter? What release?

I ran a quick research on Information Builder's online documentations and came across the following topics which may be of interest:

DS: Report Painter deleting columns in 523 reports http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com/known_problems/90571132.html

HTMLRA:JOINefine/Compute do not use qualified fieldnames http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com/known_problems/90781083.html

WHERE assist fails to show qualified names http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com/known_problems/10632062.html

As always, another suggestion would be to open a case Information Builder's Technical Support Help Desk. You can either call Technical Support Help Desk at 1-800-736-6130, or access the online system InfoResponse at http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Kerry
