Is there a Richtext component? Try putting the rich text in a memo as a

When a report prints correctly for the first time but not after that, it
usually means that you'll want to make sure to reinitialize any variables
you are using in your report in the Report.BeforePrint event. This would be

You'll need to use TppVariable components for this calculation. You'll need

Your dataset must provide TDataset functionality and it has to support
bookmarks. RB supports connections to TDataset descendents. RB will
traverse the records automatically by calling the TDataset methods. RB

The crosstab engine simply relies on the data that it is given. You should
be able to create a calculated field for Month and add an ORDER BY to the
query, based on the Month calc field. See the installed crosstab demos, as

I should have also added, that DADE validates the sql so that it is
syntactically correct (ie. submits the sql to the server for the validation)
for the database server when the dataview is built by the end user.
Cheers,Use the Report.BeforePrint event. You have to give us some more info for
the specific criteria for when you want to perform this operation. You
could search for dataviews by name (Dataview.Description is what you see at

For some reason the OnCalcs aren't doing what you need. Can you send me an
example and I'll look at it to see what's happening. I have an example
which is working as I expect it. I added the values manually and they were
correct and…I get the same behavior. Set the group footer variable to reset on group end
instead of on group start. It should start working with that setting.

This is an RB-Teechart package issue. There may files from an older version

Export to a comma delimited text file using RB 's native text file output.
Then you can import the text file into Excel. If native RB text output
works, but ExtraDevices doesn't, then send an example to James Waler (the

The .raf file is a collection of draw commands on page objects. To read the

I created an RB v6.03 report based on the DBDemos data. I wasn't able to
reproduce this behavior. You'll see that when Customer.Custno = 1354, it
has two detail Order records to print.
