What is the user's requirements? Can this report run in a timed process at
3 am? It could be written to Archive file and then the users can use the
ArchiveReader component to instantaneously preview and print the report
because the … -
There is a different driver for Win95 and Win2000. Download the latest

Here is a demo to download which does this with a pipeline on a form, but
this same approach will work with RAP and DADE:

You'll need to extract the TdaSQL object to get at the search criteria. Then
set the AutoSearch boolean property to false on that criteria object. Is
this what you mean?

You can reorder the search criteria.
I did something similar before with order by fields on a sql object. There
is a TdaSql.ClearCriteria method to free the criteria fields.

I'm using InfoPower 2000 on D5 and RB5.56, Win2000.
I successfully included our ppWWRichEd in the project and without. Also,
you said that you couldn't place a TwwDBRichEd on the form and run the
project? I was able to do all … -
What version of Delphi/Windows/RB are you using? When does the error occur?
Could you provide some more information? Is this a reproduceable error?
Did you get any AV's during your current session, before this error showed

From RB 4.21, there have been quite a few major enhancements. Here's quick
rundown:
What's New for 6.0
DADE Support for dbExpress
RBuilder.ini Enhancements
What's New for 5.5

What version of Delphi do you have? Perhaps you can upgrade your version of
RB.
We don't have any patches available for 4.21.

See the CodeBased thread in the TechTips newsgroup. There is a 'Report
Object Loop' article. You can loop through the objects in the report
looking for TppSubreport components. Of course, then what if a subreport

Check to see if it connected to the data pipeline and data field. Verify
its Visible property = True. Do you know exactly which version of RB the

I'm not sure what your data is like, but here's my interpretation:
You could dynamically create TppDBImage and TppLabel components based on a
query, and put them all in the detail band. Basically, you need one big
detail band t… -
Demo #124 in the installed main reports demo project shows how to print a

Is there a default printer assigned? With RB 6.0 you can specify a Screen as
a default PrinterName in the printer setup, since RB would AV when no
printer device context was available. You may want to upgrade to RB 6. We
now offer RB… -
If the image prints one minute and not the next, on the printer, then I
would tend to believe that there is a re-initialization problem in your code
for the TppImage size or maybe when setting the margins, columns or the

Thanks, for reporting the issue. I do get the AV following your 8 steps.
We'll look into this.

Can't do it for an archived file. The archive is made up of draw commands
for each page. There is no data associated with it, (the advantage of
archiving), so the pages can't be regenerated. To get this to work, the
pages have to be… -
I've sent you the correct engine pas file via email. You'll need to include
this in your project instead of using the ppEngine.dcu that is located in

Somehow this fix didn't get built into the release. We'll build a new
version and notify everyone to download the latest when it is ready.

We've just fixed NoDataBehaviors yesterday. For other fixes we've had in the
past few days, we've uploaded a new version of RB6. Download RB6 for D4
again. The link and password should be the same as before.

I copied your code straight into a new unit in a new project.
Running from Delphi, the exception is shown because Delphi debugging is on.
However, when running the exe outside of Delphi, no exception is shown and

Most printers have an unprintable area along the border of the page. Some
are 0.25 inches, some are more and some are less. Increasing the margins a
little on the report should help correct the problem.

You need to build with runtime packages because all of the units for
TeeChart aren't supplied with Delphi6. When TeeChart is released for D6,
then you can purchase it and you won't have to build with run time packages
anymore.
<…If you could come up with a TeeTree wrapper that would be cool.
ReportBuilder can print bitmaps and metafiles. You could save your tree as
an image and load it into a TppImage.

Di…I would suggest upgrading from Delphi 3 if possible. If you think you have
too much information on a form, then you could reduce the size of it by
saving the reports as templates. Then dynamically load the subreports at
runtime.
There is a demo of doing this in RB for D4 and D5. However, it may need to
be converted to be used in RB4.23 for D3. The demo reorders the page
objects.
in Page Changing Comment by digitalmetaphors July 2001I haven't heard of that happening before. Are you using RB5.56 for D4 or
D5?

A detailband that can't be set to DynamicHeight? That shouldn't be possible.
Is this Delphi design-time only, or run-time only? Send a demo report to
support@digital-metaphors.com which shows this behavior.

<…With RB 6, I placed a bunch of labels and spaced them horizontally. I
checked all of their left values and they were evenly divided between the
leftmost and rightmost label's left positions. I like this behavior and it

spacing action. I see that the gap between each element is different when
they are spaced horizontally. All of the elements in the selection should be
