Set the richtexts ShiftRelativeTo the previous richtexts, since they are

We generate different SQL for the different standards/flavors of SQL.
Interbase likes the SQL2 standard. If you choose local or SQL1 you can get
errors like the ones you are describing, from the Interbase server. Set the

I should also add that the Datadictionary is used to manage the AutoJoins

The join table specifies the join relationships. The SQL script, which we
provide to build the tables, should take care of setting up the join table
for you specific database. Look in the ..\RBuilder\Demos\EndUserDatabases\The JoinPipeline was added when with the addition of AutoJoin, which was RB
4.2.
You do not have to create and use the JoinPipeline, as the EndUser
ReportExplorer demo project doesn't use it.

I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary for the crosstab. Run demo #

seems to be firing as expected.
