    Please send an example of this behavior in .zip format to

  • Hi Chris,

    Thanks for the explaination,

    Unfortunately there is no way to set the minimum size of a stretchable
    region in ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Chris,

    I do not fully understand the problem. In my testing, placing a dbMemo
    inside a Region with Stretch set to True seemed to properly shrink or
    enlarge the region boundaries according to the size of the dynamic memo.

  • Hi Eric,

    The DBPipeline will by default recreate the fields when it is assigned at
    runtime. You need to set the TppDBPipeline.AutoCreateFields property to
    False to disable this behavior and keep the field aliases you already
  • Hi Didier,

    Try changing your the entery in your library path from \RBuilder\Lib\ to
    \RBuilder\Source\ and rebuild. This will recompile the daIBExpress.pas file
    and create a new .dcu file. Once you have done this, go to the
  • Hi Chris,

    You can adjust the order the objects are shown in the Object Tree by using
    the "Bring to Front" "Move to Back" features in the designer (available by
    right clicking over a report object). When you bring an object to t…
  • Hi Tyler,

    The easiest way around this is to set the Report.CachePages to True. Note
    that this will take up more memory resourses as each page is being cached in
    memory once it is generated but it should not be an issue unless y…
  • Rogerio,

    This sounds like a WPTools issue. Please contact the WPTools support for
    help with this problem. support@wptools.de

  • Hi Chris,

    It was the two bottom regions. Which printer are you using. ReportBuilder
    used the current printer driver to render to the screen as well as on paper.
    perhapse I can download the printer driver you are using and get …
  • Hi Chris,

    Sorry about the delay in this response. I was able to download your example
    and run it. I am however unable to see where any of the regions overlap
    eachother. They all seem to line up correctly except for the bottom…
  • Hi Chris,

    Be sure you have the ShiftRelativeTo property set for each region below the
    first one. This will cause the regions to shift down the page as the region
    above it stretches.

    we'll send the patch right out.

  • Hi Eugen,

    Check out demo 92 (TeeChart Demo) located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1.
    Reports\... directory. This gives a good idea how to use TeeChart with
    ReportBuilder. Be sure to take the "x" off the ppTeeChart directive when

    You can adjust the FolderOptions and ItemOptions of the ReportExplorer to
    limit some of the options the user has with respect to creating and
    designing reports and folders. Other than this you will need to create a

    I have not seen this behavior before. Please upgrade to ReportBuilder 7.03
    and see if the problem persists. If so, please send a small example of the
    behavior in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll t…
  • Hi Susan,

    In the Report Designer (design tab) on the Standard Toolbar at the top there
    is a component that looks sort of like a little blue calculator (similar to
    the DBCalc icon without the table in the background).

  • Hi Susan,

    DBCalc component are good only if you need a very simple calculation
    performed. Once you need to start accessing these values and manipulating
    them, you will want to make your calculations manually using the TppVariab…
  • Hi Jes,

    Instead of using DBCalc components, try using TppVariable components and
    make your calculations manually in the OnCalc event. Try placing a
    TppVariable in the detail band and inside its OnCalc event, update the value
  • Hi Daniel,

    The DataDictionary was unfortunately not designed to be configured at
    runtime but I think it should be possible.

    First you will need to update the Tables and Fields datatables by either
    setting their values…
  • Hi Deck,

    Refreshing the report at runtime from the preview is very similar to using
    the AutoSearch feature. Once your data has been changed in your database,
    be sure your datasets are active, then reset the Report and the

  • Hi Jes,

    Try using the dbCalc.SuppressRepeatedValues property to keep it from adding
    more than once.

  • Hi Bernd,

    This is right... all your rap code will be executed when you switch to the
    preview. This is definitely a possibility if you are at runtime and
    switching from a running report to your app and back again. Somewhere in<…
  • Hi Bernd,

    For future reference, please post RAP questions in the RAP newsgroup so we
    can get your question answered quicker.

  • Hi Kari,

    ReportBuilder uses Delphi's TJPEGImage to provide support for jpeg images.
    Unfortunately the TJPEGImage component does not support CMYK jpeg files. If

  • Hi,

    You can try using the CrossTab component to accomlish this. Please see the
    CrossTab demos located in the \RBuilder\Demos\2. CrossTabs\... directory for

  • Hi Jes,

    1. Check out the AutoSearch feature of ReportBuilder. You can use this to
    search the returned data and filter it anyway you like, or even use it to
    "look up" a certain value and return true if the value exists. For ex…
  • There is a patch available for ReportBuilder 7.03 that may fix this issue.
