Did you use our scripts to create the tables? In either case try recreating
the tables using the script found in RBilder\Demos\EndUser Databases\SQL
Server 7 and see if the problem persists.

You can iterate individually through the specific groups of fields such as:
for liIndex := 0 to mySQL.SelectFieldCount - 1
// access mySQL.SelectFields[liIndex]
You can do the same with OrderByFieldCount/OrderByField… -
That does work though I have been able to reproduce the problem a few times
in D6. Which version of Delphi and RB are you using? I'll look into why this
could be hapenning.

Use the OnPreviewFormCreate event to assign the form a custom icon. For
example:

Make sure that the the components are in fact inside the region. This might
sound obvious but they might not necessarily get placed into the region when
dragged. You can display the report tree (View->Report Tree) to be sure. The

DetailBand = Dynamic Height and Stretch on the Memo is all you need for this
behavior. Make sure that these settings are not being reset somewhere.
To force the entire detail band onto a new page place all the components in

Those settings are correct and should do the trick. The only question is how
are you adding that extra line to the memo? Are you adding it manually? If
so, when?

The RB Teechart wrapper class provides access to the chart object via its

One possible problem could be that you are calling Load to load the template

The demo was checking Category in the SkipForward and Common_Name in
SkipBackward, which obviously is a mistake on our part. They should both be
checking Category to get the 18 records as the form states. The last

property on the requesting device, i.e. lDevice.PageSetting := psLastPage;

…Which version of RB are you using? Is there more than one report

Digita…Not necessarily, but if you do then you could create a utility that would do
this programatically. If you move up to D5 then you should go all the way up
