Example

This example sets the default report directory to point to a subdirectory of the PowerPlay application directory. The report subdirectory, MyReportDirectory, must exist before you run this macro.

Sub Main()

   Dim objPPRep As Object

   Dim strReportDirectory as String

   Set objPPRep = CreateObject("CognosPowerPlay.Report")

   strReportDirectory = objPPRep.Application.Path &
"\MyReportDirectory"

   objPPRep.Application.DefaultReportDirectory = strReportDirectory

   MsgBox "The default report directory is " _

       &objPPRep.Application.DefaultReportDirectory

   Set objPPRep = Nothing

End Sub
