There is a Report.CachePages property, which will cause the pages to be
cached from the preview, so that the pages will not be regenerated when the
report is subsequently sent to the printer.

Download the RBAddon which has already been recompiled with RB 6.02 from the
RBAddOn website.

Actually, the Report.PassSetting should be set to psTwoPass and the events
to use are the OnStartFirstPass and OnEndFirstPass.

You could try the Report.OnEndFirstPass or Report.OnEndSecondPass events,
depending on your Report.PassSetting property.

Here is a download demo project which does this in code for a DADE dataview.
http://www.digital-metaphors.com/tips/DADEWithCurrentDateCriteria.zipThis is dependent on if your database provides a current datetime function.
You can enter this function call into the search criteria field in a DADE
query dataview. Check your database vendor's documentation for the proper
function …BandsPerRecord isn't supported when ColumnTraversal is set to LeftToRight.
The report engine was originally designed to only support a TopToBottom
traversal, and there were certain assumptions built into the current report
engine that…Check your inbox:)

We don't have any problems loading a report from one drive to another, even
when it wasn't originally saved there from a report object. Perhaps the
template is corrupt in some other way? You can save the template down as
ASCII text …Yes, try it with a plain vanilla Delphi 5 installation.

Check out our main report's demos, in the master detail section. Look in
your installation under ..\RBuilder\Demos\1.Reports\ and run that project.
Take a look at demos #71-73

Digital Metapho…We aren't aware of any component which has been used to do this from an RB
preview. You may be able to use a JITPipeline feeding the hyperlinks to a
DBText component and hook into its OnDrawCommandClick event. Check out the
help top…You'll need to instantiate a TppReport object and load the .rtm report
template from file. Then call the Print method on the report object. Use
the template property of the report. See the help file on this property for
its methods…For now, you can code a TppVariable's OnCalc event handler to do this. If
you want this functionality in your end-users reports, or if you are going
to be creating a bunch of new reports which will have this, and coding an
event hand…The RB unit raCodMod should be in your uses clause whcih is where the code

We haven't heard of this behavior before. Can you create a couple of simple
reports in which you are using forms inheritance, and get this error upon
loading to 6.02. Send the sample project in RB 5.0 format to
support@digital-metaph…The best event to change the component's properties will be to use the
DetailBand.BeforePrint event.

There is a DetailBand.BandsPerRecord property, but that will only tell you
how many times the detail band should print for a single record. This
property should be documented in the help file.
You can use the Detailband.Afterpr…You can use each band's afterprint event.

If the report object has been instantiated and the proper report template
loaded, you can perform a report object loop, looking for the label. Look
in the TechTips newsgroup under the CodeBased thread for an article on 'Loop
Through …OnGetAutoSearchValues will fire before the data is retrieved for the report.

You can extract the SQL object from the dataview. There is an article on
this in the TechTips DADE thread. There is an article called 'Access the SQL
Object via Code.' You can modify the SQLText property of the SQL object.
Beware, b…See the TechTips newsgroup and look in the printer thread. There should be

When the percenteage is calculated, at the same time you could sum the
percenteage by using another variable and incrementing the variable through
its value property.
