Create a variable component in the main report and set the data type.
In the AfterGenerate event of the band containing the DBCalc, transfer the
value of the DBCalc to the variable:
ppVariable1.Value := ppDBCalc1.Value;ReportBuilder will not automatically change the positions of report layout
elements for you. But you can move these around programmatically before
changing the margins...

Digital Metapho…If you are using the OnDrawCommandCreate, you should not reference the
TppDBText object, but rather the object which is passed is a TppDrawText
object. Update the draw command in the Report.OnEndPage event. If you

retrieving more than one row of data for the master records.

Please make sure that the subreport is assigned to the detail pipeline. Most
likely the subreport is not traversing all of the detail data if this is the
case.

for this. Pull the needed data, link using the DataSource property of the

have to parse the HTML yourself and use GetFieldValue and similar events on
the pipeline to traverse the parsed HTML tree.

then you have two different RTMs. If you want both changes to coexist you
must find a way to consolidate them.

Cheers,
Alexander Kram…If you make a change to the report you must send the new RTM file to the

You can place a group in the subreport and set its break value to the key
linking field. Move the information you want to print from the master
detail band to the group header band. In the detail dataset, you should be

There is a CreateGroupInCode article in TechTips | CodeBased if that is what
you had in mind. If you can't see it you might need to resync by completely
deleting the dm account and re-subscribing.

is covered up by another component. If you have another component directly
following the memo, set it to shift relative to the stretching memo.

There are two things to check initially. First make sure that the OnPrint
event handler is a assigned (that it is firing at all.) If so, also make
sure that the first part of the if statement (df_xx.Stretch := True) is

You can create a descendant of the LabelWizard and register it as a new
