The TppDesigner doesn't appear to surface this from TppDesignerWindow. You
can always get at the menu and trigger the click of the datatree menu item,
so that it is enabled.

There is a 3rd party grid component in the BuilderControls package, which
also has a rotated label component. I installed it and the grid is AV'ing
at delphi design time, for some reason, but is working fine at runtime.
There is no native RB grid component. We have lines and shapes, which can be
placed in the detail band. As the detail band generates over and over
again, it will result in a grid for your data records.

Digital MetaphorsSo if RB prints a one page memo on page 3, of a 3 page report you want the
page numbers to be 1,2,3. If the last page memo overflows on pages 3,4,5,
then you want the page numbering to be 1,2,1,2,3. Here is an example which

The pages aren't able to stretch both vertically and horizontally. One
approach could be to generate multiple subreports on the same data, one for
each set of columns. Then reorder the pages so that they print in order of

I received an rtm. However, we would need to be able to run the report and
see the data records as they are ordered by your query.

Eventhough the order is descending on the level 3 ID, it should still create
a group, because the group break is determined by a change in the group
break value. Can you send a working example to

You can use a DADE plugin. See the installed end user demos for specific

The easiest way to have a one page group footer, is to place a subreport in

You can certainly use TClientDataSet with ReportBuilder:
TClientDataset --> TppDBPipeline --> TppReport
Therefore any end-user solution would have to utilize TClientDataSet.
However, the are some other factors …If there is no data pipeline, BandsPerRecord won't work, so you'll need to

Resize the detail band so that you can print four of them stacked on top of

It should be about 500K. I see that the ppReport (RB Standard basically) is
getting linked in, which would bring it to 1.2 meg. Thanks, for reporting
the issue. We'll try to isolate the uses clause path that is causing this.
I took …That is how the report generation with a section style subreport works. The
components in a band are printed based on their ZOrder, when a section style
subreport exists.

don't have to use dbRichtext and the JIT.
