The dbl-click caption editor is not part of the default behavior of
TppLabel. We've never coded this feature. You have a modified TppLabel
component or a descendent of TppLabel?

What do you mean by Caption? What you do double click on to get captions?
Do you mean the Autosearch dialog? I don't get any strange behavior on D5
and RB 6.03 at design time, even with autosearch enabled.

That version is a couple of years old. Try testing with the demo RB 6.03.

Try testing with some DBGrids on your form to make sure that the data is

Create a calculated field on the dataset which has these records summarized.
You could place this calc field in a lookup query so that you can use the
values in the summaryband's variable calculation. Since there is a separate

In the Report.OnPrintDialogClose event, you can read its Printer object to
see what the user has configured. Save this to an .ini file. Then the next

The component's parent is the band it is located in. The other parent
control is the Region component. If a shape lies within a region component,
then the parent of the shape is now the region.

Have you tried setting the line's and shape's ShiftWithParent property?

If you are using the latest version of IB Express, then that is the problem.
For compatibility reasons, ReportBuilder's LIB units are compiled using the
plain Delphi 5.0 units with no patches applied.

Thanks, I agree that a data aware counter should display zero if there are
no records, even when one empty detail band prints. I was just trying to
get a solution to ya:)

One detail band does print if there is no data, and the DBCalc shows 1.
There is a NoDataBehaviors property on the report which gives you some more
control over what happens when there is no data. You may want to code a

For now, add an integer counter to the GroupFooterBand.AfterPrint event
instead of using Group.BreakNo. Reset the counter variable back to zero in
the Report.BeforePrint event.

You may want to try to use the GroupFooterBand.Before/AfterGenerate events
instead of the Group.AfterBreak.

Yes, if the SQL is valid, you can enter a subselect to get the search
criteria for a field in the dataview.

This is the intended behavior. DADE isn't able to validate the SQL that is
manually entered. The workaround is to use the query designer to configure
your query, and not to manually edit the SQL:)

I can't tell you, but it just may be the one killer feature we don't have:)

When you disconnect the main report from any data, does it work like you
want?
If the main report is not connected to data, then its detail band should
print once. The two section subreports then will only traverse their

How many records are returned in your second query? The second
query/pipeline/subreport should print all of the records that exist in the

RB 6.03 is the edition that you'll need to be compatible with Teechart 5.02.
You'll need to uninstall Teechart, and then install Teechart, then RB. RB

You can set the value of a variable by using the OnCalc of the variable in

I totally missed the boat. DBCalcs don't work across subreports, when the
DBCalc is in the main report. To work around this problem, perform the
calculation sum in each subreport with a variable and use a variable in the

Is the DBCalc connected to the master datapipeline? Sounds like it is only
getting the values based on the traversal of the master data pipeline. Try
connecting it to the detail datapipeline.

Don't know of any way to do this without "touching" the labels. You can
perform a report object loop in code, looking for TppLabel components. Then
you can add a colon to their caption. The report object loop code is in the

What is your installed default printer driver? I'm sure you know this, but
for other readers, RB uses the printer driver to determine the pagination of
a report, for the screen preview. We'll download the driver here and run

Thanks, we'll look into this.

The KeepTogether on the regions should work. Sorry, the current report
engine doesn't support ShiftRelativeTo for subreports inside of a region.
