It's on the ToDo list.
As far as RB being more expensive, I will only say that it appears that
FastReport was built using our code as well as other reporting tool's code.
We don't release the source to RAP, for this reason. Kee… -
Areed, it would be a nice feature to stick in RB so you won't have to code
it. Another option, is to set the SummaryBand.PrintPosition. I think this
is what you are looking for.

I think the best approach is to use multiple subreports and toggle their
visibility, bsed on which one you want to print. When the detail band goes
to print (DetailBand.BeforePrint event), you can read the type from the
master datapi… -
If I understand correctly, that the TransNo is a key field which can link
the different transaction types. Use a master-detail approach with
subreport. The subreports can print each of the different transaction types
for each transac… -
Check out RBAddOn components. It has a calendar component.

Run the installed main reports demo project for an example. There should be
an option to see a two-page preview.

Check out the address squeeze demo, in the installed main reports demo
project: look for #33.

You can control the built-in preview form via the
Report.OnPreviewFormCreate event.
For example the following code sets the Print Preview form to
maximized and sets the Viewer ZoomSetting to 100%:
procedure TForm1.ppR… -
The screen preview is built using the printer's canvas to determine the
pagination. If the canvas said that it couldn't fit the image on a
page,then it would appear on the next page. As a test, change the default

In order to support Delphi 6, we made it possible so that you could have a
report on a TDatamodule in RB 6.0.
As long as you steer clear of Richtext and Teecharts (to avoid theading
issues), you should be able to place a report … -
The form can be set to invisible if you don't want to show it. We fixed the
old problem at Delphi design time, when using a TDatamoule. If you are
running RB 6.0 for Delphi 6 or later, you can use reports on TDatamodules.
Right now, the Chart property is surfaced, but RAP doesn't know what a
Series object is.
I would create a pass thru function to add stuff to the series of a chart.
There are tutorials on creating pass through functions in the in…Ok, I did what you said, but it just snaps to the grid, as I would expect

I posted to your previous post.
I took Tom's demo- it had an old version of the DBISAM pas file. I
downloaded DBISAM 3.05, compiled the DADE plugin, and ran our end user demo.
It worked in Delphi 6 using RB 6.03, DBISAM 3.05. …I sent you an email, perhaps it was the wrong email address, cuz I was going

You'll have to hack the DevMode structure which is given in the example link
in the previous post:) Sorry, just RB doesn't have native support for
"head first" or "foot first."

Digital…Do you mean simply changing the Report.PrinterSetup.Orientation property, or
is there an option in your specific printer driver setup menu? RB is only
aware of the TppPrinterSetup. However, you can get at the DevMode
structure. Here…The RTM file is the file that is saved when you choose to save the report
definition to file. This is the report template. You can use the

replace the preview form which is launched from the designer. See this
example if you want to replace the preview form with the new architecture:

when you compile. Then when the app runs and loads a report which was built

There is a DISTINCT in the sql syntax. Grab a good book on sql, such as LAN

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid…How about using a Inner Join in the query to get data from both tables,
instead of master detail linking?

You can set a label's caption to be the current report object's name
ppLabel1.Caption := ppReport1.Name;

This has been requested before and is on the ToDo list. Thanks for the
suggestions.

RAP is not thread safe. As far as DADE goes, we aren't sure if it is or not
threadsafe, we haven't done enough multithreaded testing with it.
