It overrides the TComponent constructor, but shouldn't call it twice. My
report descendent's constructor is only called once on my project when I
trace through it. Can you provide us with an example that shows this
behavior?There is an application tutorial in our Developer's Guide PDF. Look in your
installed ..\RBuilder\Developer's Guide directory. We also sell a printed
paper bound version of the Develeoper's Guide and also the EndUser's Guide.
You can…A static height detail band's height cannot exceed the page height. You
could use a section style subreports to print a single page. Each subreport
will only represent a single page.

What happens if you run our demo end user reports exe on their machine's
configuration? Unfortunately, we don't have any NT4 boxes up and running to
test with at this time. Does the problem happen on all of their machines,

automatically. There is no border frame property to set once you've placed a

Digital MetaphorsThankyou for the suggestions.
1. You can drag the fields from the datatree and they can be created with
the boxes around them by default.
2. You can right click over the variable and access the Calc environment.
From there …You should use two DBCalcs. One in the group footer band, which is set to
reset its value on the group. Then place another DBCalc in the summary band
to count every detail band that prints for the whole report.

I was able to compile your example without a problem. Take a look at your
declaration and make sure that the procedure prototype is correct,
ie. procedure myTemplateOnLoadEndEvent(Sender: TObject);

This can be accomplished by creating the layout of each page as a subreport
and then reorder the pages when the report is printed. Please see the
Spreadsheet Style Report for an example,
www.digital-metaphors.com/tips/SpreadSheetStyle…We'll have to research this and see what we can do. Most likely the next
version won't have an XPLookNFeel boolean property on the Designer
component.

Use a TppVariable instead on the DBCalc. You can set the CalcOrder property
on the Variables in a band, so that you can control the order that their
OnCalcs fire within the band.

If you don't want to create a group just in order to force a page break,
then there is a PageBreak component provided by RBAddOn

There are two ways aroud this. You can either create a short OnCalc event
handler for the DBCalc. In it check if ppReport1.DataPipeline.State is equal
to 'ppdaNoRecords' (found in ppTypes). If so, set the DBCalc1.Value to 0.
The other…You're right Ed, you have to install RB after installing Teechart, in order

What exactly does your report need to look like? And also, what datasets
are available to provide the information?

The height of the page style band corresponds directly to it's size on the
page. You do have to take into account the margins. When you modify the
margins of the report you'll notice that the band modifies its size in
response. For ex…
