Since, we are very tightly integrated into Delphi, we would like to see a
Delphi version for .NET first. Will it happen? We don't know any more about
Borland's plans than you do:)

You can fully control the display formats. Here is a demo which you can
configure them to anything you want.

I suspect that they may not be set to AutoSize or stretch and somehow the
printer resolution, on those machines, tell the report component that it
can't fit the text in the size of the text control. Try toggling autosize
to true, or … -
Try updating to the latest printer driver available for the Okidata ML320.
It must be that the band can't fit in the label. Does it work on another
printer? I imagine that there is another printer that is the default
printer for your… -
The avery labels are defined by registering a label set. In
RBuilder/Source/ppAvStd.pas, there is a register call to register the
standard dot matrix labels. You could copy the current labels and also add
your own label to the set. Cr… -
Autosize is working as designed. You'll need to use the memo component to
have it stretch vertically.

Take Extradevices out of the picture. Try testing by printing a simple
report to the printer twice. If it works, then perhaps there is a nil
device or datapipeline? We'll have to have more information about what is
happening from t… -
We haven't been able to reach it on the ToDo list, yet. Thankyou, for your

Try calling Report.Cancel in the Report.OnStartFirstPass event.

If the printer setup is 'letter' sized on the subreport, when it should be
A4, then that may be the cause of the inifte loop. If ParentPrinterSetup is
false and incorrect at runtime, then configure the printer setup of a
subreport by… -
Sure, send an example to support@digital-metaphors.com

Since it works the first time, then that means that there are fields defined
on the datapipelines. Are these getting freed after the first report runs?
Can you send an example which exhibits this behavior to

Can MSWord, or other applications, print to this printer correctly? Are the
margins all the way around the page set to 1/2 inch?

ReportBuilder doesn't provide any support to fix this kind of strange
behavior. Have you seen screen shots of this? If you change the margins,
does the problem go away? Sounds like the unprintable area is different
from printer to p… -
What does the resulting report emulation text file look like, when the dot
matrix is selected?
The selected printer's canvas is used to determine the pagination. The dot

The reason your preview won't match your printed output is that we have two
choices when we create a preview - compose for the screen, or compose for
the printer. Most programs such as MS Word compose to the screen when they

The only event that is guaranteed to fire once for every record, is the
OnCalc event of a TppVariable which is set to calculate OnTraversal. Place
one in the detail band, and set it to Visible = False. Its event will still

There is an article on printing endless pages, in the TechTips newsgroup in
the General thread. If that doesn't help, then try upgrading to RB 6.03.

Be sure to install Teechart first, then RB. This error usually means that
there are different versions installed for the run time and design time
packages. See your installed RBuilder help file. Look in the contents page

Are you at Delphi deign time? There is an article in the TechTips newsgroup

Sorry, the designer wasn't designed to be embedded in a form, and it isn't

There is no built-in support for previewing a single report in two viewers.

The report generation is dependent on how fast it can open the dataset.
First, create a small dataset so you'll get a good single page
representation, and then you can set the Report.PageLimit to 1 so that it
will only print a one pag… -
True, TppRichEdit does rely on TRichEdit. TRichEdit uses the older version
of the RichEd.dll. If registering TRichEdit for RB reports works better for
the Chinese characters, then that is a workaround until we figure out why a

Yes, you can use TRichEdit this way if you'd like:) I'm running a sample
like this and it works fine.

Our TppRichEdit relies on TRichEdit, so you shouldn't have any problems.
There are multiple versions of the RichEd dll. Our code tries to load the
newer RichEd20.dll. If you have both versions on your machine, then perhaps

When you assign the component to a band, the report will take responsibility
for freeing that component when the report is freed.
If you do something like this, then the dbtext will get freed when the
subreport is freed.
