I'm not sure what the goal is. I understand that a ticket can print more
than one record. You would like the ticket to contain multiple records, if
necessary, then break and start printing on the next ticket. Do you have

Check to make sure you have data? Place a dbGrid on the form and connect it

In the OnGetText event, have you tried setting the text to a string, instead
of a pipeline datafield, just to see if the event is fir… -
When RB installs, and you select the TeeChart support check box, then the
installation program finds the latest version of TeeChart you have installed
for Delphi and installs the proper packages. We rebuilt RB because there

In D5 and 5.56 this was a problem, however, in D6 and RB6 it should work
correctly. You can go into the page setup from the file menu and change the
paper size to get the band widths to grow.

If you have variables and in the OnCalc event, you can perform the

FirstPass and SecondPass, with which you can use to determine the currnent

We don't have the EndUser Guide in any other format but PDF (in English). We

There was a problem in RB5.56 where the printer initialization logic was
firing too much. This meant that RB was talking to the printer driver, which
takes a lot of time. RB 6 provides a fix for this so that it only has to go

There is the Report.CachePages property which will keep the pages from being
regenerated when the report is sent to the printer from the preview.

The PrintOnLastPage overrides the PrintOnFirstPage boolean property of the
header band. What you can do is set the header band to PrintOnLastPage back
to true. Then, after the header band prints (HeaderBand.AfterPrint event),

The header is only read when print is called. There has to be a better way
than flashing the previewer. What about creating a local TppDevice and print
one page to it. No previewer would be instantiated, but it should cause the

The 5389 label template should create a 4 inch tall by 6 inch wide detail

Do you have RAP code? Are you using DADE? What configuration are the
dataviews in- master-detail-detail? Does search criteria exist?
What are the minimum required steps needed to reproduce this behavior?

The lost datapipeline on copy/paste has been fixed for the next maintenance
release.

Thanks, for reporting the issue with the datapipeline.
I'd vote for simply having to click on the label and then start typing. I'm
sure this is already on the to-do list.

RB does not support printing of a decision grid at this time.
We do support TeeChart and we have a Crosstab component which can show data
in a tabularized format.

Digital Metaphors…Use a string type TppVariable and code its OnCalc event handler. The OnCalc
will fire exactly as it is configured in the timing dialog(right-mouse-click
over the variable). It should be set to calculate on traversal. Be sure to

I would create a pass thru function to retrieve the values from delphi
variables. There is a demo of creating pass thru functions in the RAP demos
in your RBuilder installation.

The report's datamodule object owns the datapipelines in the RB6
implementation. Previously, the form owned the datapipelines.
