Generally, the approach is to load the reports such that each is in its own
section style subreport in a single report component. Then you can print
the one report and all of the reports will print as one print job. The main
report … -
What about sticking them in a database file?

You can use the PageStyle band, which prints behind all of the other bands.
Use the rotated label component which is available from our website as a
downloadable add on. www.digital-metaphors.com Goto the Friends | RCL page

When you create a report, the default is whatever the default language is
selected in the installation of RB into your development machine. The

I'd say you have some lingering RB source. See the tech-tips newsgroup in
the installation thread there is an article describing cleaning up a corrupt

It works both ways. What you should look at is what do you need to
accomplish. Crystal can do things that ReportBuilder can't, and also,

The problem is that the summary band is correctly trying to print. However,
the footer band prints,and there is no room for the summary band to print at
that position because it would print into the footer band. When this
happens, t… -
It works for me on A4 with the summary band set to print at 250 mm. Check
the SummaryBand.Newpage property. If the problem persistss, then create a
simple report that demonstrates this behavior and send it to

Use a DBCalc component in the detail band and set its DBCalctype property to
count.

Use a rotated label, and then access the current record in the datapipeline
in order to set the caption.

ReportBuilder assumes a left to right generation. I think the wordwrapping
will work, but you'll need to rearrange the text manually after it wraps the
lines.
RB's native output is draw commands on page objects. You can fully<… -
Correct, you'll have to purchase a registered version of RB to get access to
our source.

That's rockin' man. We are definitely interested in building and supporting
a CBuilder version. We built BCB support for RB5.0, but we couldn't keep
supporting it as we changed RB's source for Delphi and the BCB version
subsequently… -
Set the NewPage and KeepTogether properties of the group to false. Also,
check to see if you have any keep together turned on in the detail band,
such as a region or subreport, as this could cause the group to start on a

We're working on it- Hopefully within the next couple of weeks.

We were thrown off by the fact that TeeChart advertises their latest version
for Delphi 6 as a pre-release. Since, it appears that the TeeChart
'pre-release' is being used in production, we have begun the process of
adding support fo… -
In what event are you setting these properties? Try the Report.BeforePrint
event. It should work then.

We're not building anything at this time. You do have a copy of our source,
as a registered user. You certainly could take our source and try to compile
it with Kylix. You can remove DADE, RAP, and the Crosstab source. You
could el… -
We have no plans to build a version at this time.

The Delphi dcu base is different than in the registered version of Delphi.
We'll have to build a special trial version of RB specifically for the
Delphi trial edition.

If you would like to change the design time behavior of a component in the
designer, you'll need to change the designer source.

These are old methods from version 2.0 I believe. They aren't implemented
anymore. However, we should reimplement them with the current architecture.

Demo #124 in the main reports demo project shows hwo to send a page

Take a look in the main reports demo project, in your installation, for

The dbText doesn't stretch. You'll need to statically resize the dbText
control. Otherwise, use a dbMemo and set Stretch = True;

When you load a template, the template object creates a datapipeline list
object which stores all of the visible datapipelines in the entire project.
This list is used to resolve the datapipeline string property such that the

The datapipeline property of the report wa schanged to a string property for
RB6.0. So when you load a report, then I guess when you set the

Set the visibility of the datapipeline before the template is loaded.
