You might be able to control the ordering of the calculations by using
BringToFront/SendToBack to control the z-order. (BTW, the report tree tool
windows displays the components in z-order so you can see the effects of

Have a look at TppFontList located in ppUtils.pas, it is used to build a

One of the items on our ToDo list is to make the designer more customizable

The TppImage has an autosize feature, but the DBImage does not - perhaps
something we can add to a future release.
The TppImage resizes the bounds of the control to match the size of the

Check the TppDesigner.DataSettings properties.
Set TppDesigner.AllowDataSettingChange to true, then run the application.
From the Data tab select File | DataSettings... to display the dialog. From

Sorry, I think my prior response was not clear.
We do not have an example that uses FIBPlus. As a starting point, try
working thru the BDE or IBExpress Interbase example. Each example contains a
correct configuration and a… -
1. You download a DADE plug-in for FIBPlus from our web site.

Try performing the same test with the RBuilder\Demos\EndUser\ReportExplorer
example.

That is the correct event to use. When I test that code here using the
RBuilder\Demos\EndUser\ReportExplorer\EndUser.dpr project it works
correctly.

Have not heard of this issue before. Can you create a simple example by
modifying one of the ReportBuilder end-user examples. Email to

I was referring to the DBImage.OnGetPicture event.
DataPipelines simply respond to requests to traverse data and retrieve data
field values. DataPipelines do not know about the data-aware controls.

You essentially need to refresh the dataset and the report explorer.
1. Refresh the dataset.
There is a DataSet.Refresh method. You could call this directly. If the
DBPipeline has RefreshAfterPost set to true, then D… -
Make sure that you are using TppVariable component for the detail totals and
the group totals. Do not use global variables - that will not work. See the
Tech Tips newsgroups for articles on performing Calculations.

If you re-organize the data so that there are three linked queries as I
described before, then the subreport detail band will print a single Job or
single Entry. You can use the DetailBand.BeforePrint event to set the

Observations:
1. My first recommendation would be that you redesign your database so that
is normalized. You should have a Clerks table, Jobs table, and Entry Table.
If redesigning the database is not an option then … -

Welcome to ReportBuilder!
In ReportBuilder, you use subreports. Subreports provide a powerful and
elegant solution, much more so than detail bands. SubReports can be used to
traversed detail datasets and to print alternate… -
Okay, I reread the question and think I understand that you are asking for

Check the Designer.DataSettings for DatabaseType and SQLType. Make sure that
these settings reflect the database engine that you are using. Left outer
join syntax varies by database product. However, it looks like from your

Outer joins work for queries that are not linked.
Another work around might be to create simple non-joined queries and then
link them. In the link dialog you can specified to include master that do

This a limitation of the linking SQL, it always uses an inner join.
One possible work around is to manually edit the sql and then write code to
create the links between the datapipelines.
