It stretches in tests here using the BeforePrint event. Are you using the
RichText.LoadFromFile method?

You could create a single section style subreport for each label. Each
subreport can be configured to be sent as a separate print job by setting
the NewPrintJob property on the subreport to true. Then that would give
you a one page… -
If you have replaced the preview form, you should see the changes everytime
the preview is shown. Here is an example of a custom preview form which
works even if the user previews at the end of the report wizard:

This setting is still there on the Datasettings property of the Designer? Is
this what you mean?

Yes, there are probably two bpls with this name on your machine, and each is
a different version. Follow the corrupt installation cleanup procedure to
make sure you don't have any other duplicate ReportBuilder files on your

You can also temporarily disconnect the data dictionary to simplify the
problems to solve in your configuration.

We had to deal with the Object Tree View in D6, so we had to hide a lot of

We fixed this for Delphi 6 support:) You'll need RB 6.0 and later.

You can create the group value as a calculated field on the dataset and use
the dataset's OnCalcFields event to change the value. You can also code the
OnGetBreakValue in code to cause a group to break:

Create a group around the detail band, based on the detail band key value.

Are you using subreports? If you know which pages are to be sent to which
customer, you can generate the pages to cache, and then send the pages
directly to a device. You'll have to set the TppPage.AbsolutePageCount
property to refle… -

If you data is configured in a master-detail relationship, then for every

You should probably place the two subreports by each other in the same band
of the parent report. Set the second subreport to shift relative to the
first subreport. This way they will each print once and the first one will

We've tested this here and it is working fine on our machines. We'll run it
on a slower performance machine to see if there is any further optimizations
we can add.

You can generate the entire report and cache the pages so the report doesn't
generate the pages as you preview them.

I see, you just need to add a draw command (TppDrawText) to the TppPage
object in the Report.OnEndPage event in order to draw some text. The best
approach to do this is:
