Cetin,

I need to get some data from server at report preview time.
I allow users to write expressions like

sql("SELECT name FROM customer WHERE custid="+reportalias.custid)

in report designer.

SQL() is my custom function which retrieves data from server.
Closing and opening connection in each SQL() call speeds down report creation significiantly since connection creation is slow.
