Probably simplest to use two queries. For the main query define the
autosearch criteria. For the summary query, define a search criteria that is
not designated as autosearch.
Use the Report.OnGetAutoSearchValues event to a… -

You can add search criteria to the master query so that only the master
records that you want to include in the report are retrieved from the
database. ReportBuilder will generate special linking SQL for the detail
queries that … -
If the database field is boolean you can either
1. Use the DisplayFormat property to control the display. For the
DisplayFormat you can specify S;N.
2. Override the default formating by descending from TppDisplayForm… -
If you set DetailBand.PrintHeight to phDynamic, then the detail band can
break across pages.
Another approach is to create a main report with no header/footer. Place two
subreports in the detail band and set each to pbSect… -
1. Open the datasets associated with the report explorer.
2. Initialize the printer driver. There is some additional overhead that
occurs for the very first repoirt that is previewed/printed. You can
manually force RB to i… -
I think the approach would be to modify the dataview when the report loads,
rather than trying to modify what is saved down.
There are two options:
1. You can write code to extract the TdaSQL object from the DataView… -
Yes, that will work also.

Check out the TppLayoutFactory class defined in ppRptWiz.pas. This class can
be replaced with your own custom descendant class. This class is used by the
report wizard and the data tree drag-n-drop. There is a SetComponentSize

Sorry, but Guid field linking is not currently supported.
The next release, ReportBuilder 9, will include support for Guid field
linking.

1. Create a master query that contains a list of unique reconciliation
numbers. Order the query by reconciliation number:
Select Distinct ReconciliationNo

Order By ReconciliationNo

This is not a known issue, nor can we reproduce it here.
Please provide steps for reproducing this error. Use the

We are not aware of any RB TeeTree components.
You could creating an RB wrapper component for TeeTree, this would be
conceptually similar to the RB TeeChart wrapper. See ppChrt.pas and
ppChrtDP.pas for the source code to t… -
My guess is that the report definition was saved down with the
TppReport.ShowPrintDialog property value set to False. Try loading the
report and setting that property to True. You can use the
Report.Template.OnLoadEnd event to i… -

1. Just sent you the patch file for calculated field aliasing. Sorry, never
received your prior request.
2. Sounds like the report is corrupted somehow. There are no known issue

Thanks for that info - perhaps we need to investigate allowing this
capability. What is the syntax? Can you provide a simple example...

1. You can try typing in the SQL text to see whether the database you are
using will support it. The RB Query tools do not support it because
performing a Goup By on a calculated column is not permitted according to
the ANSI Sta…
1. To build a summary query that has Day of Week data, consult your database
docs and determine whether there is a SQL function that can do that.

I think you need to try a different approach.
Rather than calling Report.Print you probably need to be using
Report.PrintToDevices. This enables you to manage the entire process in
custom code. For a simple example check o…
This is an issue that occurs when the machine has no printers drivers
installed and a TppBarCode component is used. There is a patch available for
RB 7.04.
Email support@digital-metaphors.com and request the patch.
Thanks for the feedback.
The current options are to
1. Create custom dataviews
For an example see RBuilder\Demos\EndUser\CustomDataViews
2. Write code to manually handle the autosearch and linking. F…
Check out ppASCtrl.pas, the method
TppSimpleSearchPanel.EditControlKeyUpEvent
You can modify the source code or you need to create your search panel
classes. For an example see RBuilder\Demos\AutoSearch\Custom AutoSearch
The TppDesigner.Notebook property provides access to the TPageControl. Try
something like
myDesigner.Pages[0].TabVisible := True/False
