Report.OnEndPage is triggered after a page has been filled with draw
commands by the report engine and immediately before the page is sent to the
output device. Try running your project on the installed (unpatched)

There's no way to know which template you want to load, if there are two
reports with the same name in the database. The datapipeline will locate
the first record which it finds a match for the name of the report template.
The templa… -
Check all of the datapipeline connections. First thing to check is to make
sure that the subreports have datapipelines assigned to them. There is a
TechTip newsgroup article in the General thread which describes common ways

There is a rotated label component available for download.

Thanks for the suggestion. You can place subreport inside of a region, but
not a region within a region.

You should be able to have side by side subreports with a region. Should
the region appear next to the two subreports or...? I took our main report
demo #73 which has side by side detail subreports and added a region. I

Are you just changing the SQL text on the query and not closing it? When
you change the query, it should be closed before the report begins
regenerating, so that the datapipeline will have to reopen the query. When
the query is clos… -
You'll have to reset the report. Calling Report.Reset should clear the cache
of pages.

You've mentioned this problem before and we don't know why you get this
behavior. Are you using a custom viewer? The only other way to cause this
is if you've set the page limit on the report object to 20. You say if you

You can set the visiblity of a subreport to true/false. You can set its
visibility in the GroupFooterBand BeforePrint event. Check for ppdaNoRecords
in the Datapipeline State property. Add ppTypes to your uses clause.

Sorry, bu I have not been able to reproduce the problem, ie 0.075 rounded
correctly to 0.08. However we have run into it before (see Rounding Errors
with Currency Totals, 5/15/2001). Currency values are formatted in

You always need a datapipeline:) Are you using DADE? DADE dataviews don't
natively support stored procs. You would have to create your own custom
dataview template to handle them, or enter it in the SQL text tab of the

You can provide such a solution to your end-users by creating a custom
component. An example of a static sized DBText component has been created
and can be obtained from

This can be accomplished by placing a Variable on the form in place of the
DBText and making sure the type of the variable is String and that no
formatting is applied. In the OnCalc of the Variable pull the data of

Please see TeeChart thread in the tech-tips newsgroup for a solution to the

Are the tables linked for a master-detail relationship?

See the rich text mail merge demo in the main reports demo project in your

You'll need to create a list of group totals in the first pass. Then in the
second pass, calculate the percentages by pulling the total value from the

There is a pretty good explanation of how it all should work in the RBuilder
help file. Look for DataDictionary in the help file's index. There is also
some good info in the Developer's Guide, which also is located in your

I modified our demo #73 to have an overflowing subreport on the right with 3
stacked regions to the left of it inside of the first level detail
subreport. It seems to work correctly. There must be a setting that you

We don't have a mirror component/tool. You could create a report layout,
save it to a report template. Then in other reports, you can create
subreports and load that single template into it. This would give you the

Sorry, you just shouldn't try to reparent the window.

Set Report.SavePrinterSetup to True. Now, you should be able to show the
print dialog once, and then all subsequent PrintToDevices calls will use the
printer setup from the first time you show the print dialog. Set

It must be a printer driver problem. We have an HP Laserjet 5 here with

I tried setting the standard toolbar using the approach you describe and I

You can perform your joins, but then you need to sort the data by articleid

RB does have a mail merge capability. Is this a comparable feature? See

You will have to build you own custom report viewer, which lets the user
drag the draw commands around on each page. Then when the user has finished
repositioning the draw commands, you could send the pages to the printer,

Yes, ReportBuilder Professional provides an end user runtime designer. This
