  • Were you able to get the demo running on your machine or are you having the
    same problems with it?

  • First make sure that you are including ppJpeg in your uses clause. Second,
    how are you connecting to the database? If you are using BDE there might be
    a caching issue. If so, try increasing the cache size. Please download the
    demo bel…
  • What database are you using and are you receiving any errors when it tries
    to load the image?

  • You need RB 6.03 and Teechart 5.02a. Then it will work. Contact
    info@digital-metaphors.com for the free upgrade from 6.02 to 6.03.

  • You might need to resync the newsgroup. Delete the entire digital metaphors
    account and resubsribe. Then tell it to sync all of the message headers.

  • This is a BDE problem. You need to increase the Blobs To Cache setting in
    the BDE administrator. See the 'Invalid blob handle' thread from 7/24/00

  • Are you simply losing the top margin (that is you're seeing a 40mm margin on
    the bottom)? If so, does the same thing happen when you leave the page
    height of Letter? Also, what version of RB are you using? I attempted to set
    up a repo…
  • Please download, compile, and run the demo below. If the demo works on your
    machine you might need to do a clean reinstall of RB to make sure that units
    from the older install of RB are not being used. See 'Cleaning up a corrupt
    insta…
  • The behavior was correct for me with RB6.03 with BlankReport and
    MessageOnPage set to true. In OnNoData I also modified the text draw command
    to display a different string. Please upgrade to 6.03 by contacting
    info@digital-metaphors.c…
  • There is a PageBreak component in the RBAddon component set.

    You can also create a group based on the detail value, which will cause a
    group to print for every detail band. You can reduce the group …
  • You cannot add a subselect to the group by clause. What database are you
    using and what should this operation perform? If I'mmisunderstanding, then
    you can add a group by field as shown in this demo, which shows how to add
    search cr…
  • Report.PageNo will give you the current page. You can use the barcode's
    OnPrint event to modify the data string.

  • Make the report two pass. Define a global variable in ModuleView and use the
    crosstab's OnGetTotalValueText event to store the total value in that
    variable. During the second pass you'll have the total value available to
    calculate per…
  • Set the Report property of the group rather than calling AddGroup, i.e.
    TempGroup.Report := ppReport1.

  • You should set Report.PassSetting property to psTwoPass. This causes the
    report to calculate the pagination all the way to the last page (in order to
    determine the page count of the report) and then generates the first page to
    the vi…
  • As far as the total page number goes, that number will not be valid until
    the first pass of the report is complete since the pages are generated on
    demand. What you might want to do is print to the cache offscreen before you
    start tra…
  • Try fully cleaning up the RB install and reinstalling to make sure there are
    no old units lurking around. Here are the guidlines for doing a clean
    install.

  • Place each of the components (including the shape) in regions and set the
    regions to set shift relative to each other. This should hopefully also
    solve the problem with the blank lines as per your 5/8 post.

  • You can pull out the SQL text of the report, which is generated in DADE, and
    copy it to your form, without having to print the report:

    An example of GetSQLObject can be found in this demo:

  • You can define search criteria on the report. You can default the search
    criteria to ShowAll = True. If ShowAll is true, then you can run the report
    and no search criteria will be applied (ie. no WHERE clause). Then you can
    choose …

  • Here are the top reasons to use ReportBuilder over Crystal.

    1. If you come across something that you would like to implement but that is
    out of scope of Crystal's functionality you are stuck. RB, on the other hand

  • We would be happy to take a look at the report layout itself to see if we
    can come up with a solution.

  • Unfortunately there is no simple property to reprint components. If you
    would like to send your report layout to support@digital-metaphors.com we
    could see if a better solution is available.
