We are currently testing for D6, heavily. We should have something to offer
within the next two weeks, or possibly sooner.

RB 5.56 is available in versions for D4 and D5 only. We are currently
testing a version of RB for D6.
Thankyou, for your patience.

You're using the OnPrint event of the TppRichText to assign the color,
correct? Do you have a twopass report? Can you check the SelLength
property to see if there is any variation in the length of the selected
text, from the preview… -
Make sure you have the latest printer driver installed.
The last 9 lines of every page don't print with color, or just the end of
the rich text? RB relies on Delphi's TRichEdit.

You can use the TitleBand and set its NewPage property. If you are already
using the Titlepage, you can put a section style subreport in the title
page. The section style subreports always begin printing on their own page.

Can you isolate which report is causing the problem, or is it random, maybe
based on memory resources?
You could try to break the batch creation up into multiple batches. Use the

The last folder that was opened is saved in the

Have you tried using a TppVariable which is set to calculate (use its OnCalc
event to increment its value) on GroupEnd and reset on GroupEnd. However,
the calculation group is your inner group and the reset group should be the

Have you read through the Tech-tips newsgroup? There is a Printer thread

This was a problem with Delphi's TSplitter. What version of RB and are you
using? Deleting your RBuilder.ini file in your Windows system directory
should correct the problem.

Be sure TitleBand.NewPage = False as well.

A stretchable component can't stretch in a static height band.
To get around this, place a fixed style subreport in the static height
detail band. Then set the subreport's AutoStop property to true. Don't
connect the subreport… -
This is a limitation of the current design. Resize the static detail band
to fit the tallest component.

You've read through the templates thread in the tech-tips newsgroup I
assume. The BeforePrint event doesn't fire for a subreport? When are you
assigning the BeforePrint event handler to the subreport's BeforePrint event
when the repo… -
Code the TppVariable.OnCalc event handler as Mr. Eckersberger suggested. I
just did it with RB 5.56 and it works fine. Make sure the variable's type
is double or currency.
procedure TForm1.ppVariable1Calc(Sender: TObject; var Value:… -
The first step should be to use 5.56, as it is a free upgrade from 5.52.

If, at the end of the first pass, the dbText is set to a certain color, then
for everytime the dbText prints in the second pass, it will print that

I would traverse the data on the dataset directly instead of using the
pipelines. Then you can create all of your components and the report,
before the report is run. Close the datasets and then run the report. The

This can be done with pass-thru functions. See the Rap demos and Tutorials
in your RBuilder installation, as they have examples of this. Essentially,
they are methods you create in Delphi and surface in RAP.

The TppVariable should only fire its OnCalc event once. Use one variable in
the detail band. It will fire once for every traversal. Now, place another
variable in the group footer band. In its OnCalc event handler, increment
the v…Check the TppVariable's type first, it defaults to String and that would
certainly cause a value of zero when calculating.
