Hi,
Is this still possible in version 2010?
"Auto Import Options
Normally, options are stored in the registry for each user. This is fine if each user has unique options, but when a group of users share common options, it is more convenient to store the options in a file in a shared folder. If you select Auto Import Options, you enter a file name in Options File to Auto Import, then when Jet Reports starts, the Jet Options are automatically imported instead of being read from the registry.
Once you select Auto Import Options, the only other option you can change is the Options File to Auto Import.
To create the file, you should uncheck Auto Import Options and set all the desired options. You should also define all the Data Sources as explained below. Once all the other options are set, select Auto Import Options and fill in Options File to Auto Import with the path and filename where you are going to export the options. Then click Export Options and export the file to the same place you specified in Options File to Auto Import."
Thx,
Philippe

Jet Reports Historic Posts Hi Philippe,
No, this functionality was deprecated in Jet Reports 2009. Jet Reports no longer stores its settings in the registry. It now stores its settings in the user's application data folder (on Windows XP "C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Settings\Jet Reports" and on Windows Vista/7 "C:\users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Jet Reports"). The file containing the application settings is Settings.xml and the file containing data sources and their settings is Data Sources.xml. So you could achieve similar results to the old auto import by always copying default settings.xml and Data Sources.xml files into the users' application data folders.
Actually, the next version of Jet Reports (going into beta very shortly) has some enterprise features that allow you to centralize Jet Reports settings is a much better way, but I can't say more than that at present. :-)
Regards,
Hughes
