I should say, that normally, a form or datamodule is the datapipeline's
owner.

The datapipelines just need to be reassigned to the report and subreports.
Rb will search all of the forms and datmodules inthe application, looking
for data pipelines by name.

Upgrade to 6.03. There was a bug like this in 6.01. Also, if they don't

If you have a set of reports in one language, then you may want to create a
copy of all of them and manually set all of the static text controls in the
reports to the Polish strings.

The best appraoch we have come up with is creating a base report for the
header. Then use a subreport in all of your reports' headerbands. Now, you

If Memo.CharWrap is set to true, then this would certainly cause it. Try
toggling it? If that isn't the case, then could you send us the text in the

I loaded your rtf into a TRichEdit on a form and it showed up empty. Then I
loaded the same rtf file into Word, and I could see the arrows. This is

We don't perform anything special for this character. We totally rely on the
behavior of Delphi's TRichEdit, and the different versions of the RichEd.dll

Ok, I get the dash character in the rtf, now. True, RB is using the same
rtf engine as the Delphi TRichEdit, ie. the RichEd.dll provided by Windows.

I can't seem to be able to enter it into our editor, a Delphi TRichEdit
editor on a form, or even into WordPad. Maybe I'm not doing something

The load from file works because the datapipelines are getting reinitialized

Yes, if you chagne the dataset sturcture, you'll want to be sure to recreate

OK, then there must be an event handler getting assigned for one of the
templates that is meant for another template? Is this a possibility? Do
you have any event handlers that are specific to one report template, and
not others?You should have no problem looping through the report templates in a list,
and loading them in to a TppReport object, then calling print. What

This is a known problem, wher ethe shapes and lines don' t line up. If you
