  • Hi Walter,

    What type of "mismatch" are you seeing when you print copies of each page?
    Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi are you using? Are you able to see
    the images correctly in the report preview? As a test, try disconne…
  • Hi Yelena,

    This should not calculate twice. Be sure you have your timing set correctly
    on your TppVariable. Take a look at the following example oh how to use the
    RAP Global Variables to get a grand total from a subreport. If…
  • Hi Yelena,

    When calculating grand totals, it is best to manually create your sums using
    TppVariables rather than DBCalc components. My suggestion would be to place
    a TppVariable in the detail band of your subreport and in its O…
  • Siegbert,

    The TppViewer is a TCustomPanel descendent which in turn descends from
    TControl. From here you can access the OnMouseMove event and obtain the
    current pixel cordinates of the mouse. If you would then like to convert<…
  • Hi Jordan,

    There are no known issues like this in ReportBuilder. Which version of
    ReportBuilder are you using? As a test, try disconnecting your event
    handlers and see if that helps. Remember that if you want to set the
  • Hi Jaime,

    There is a patch available for RB 7.03 that may fix this problem. Please
    send a small e-mail to support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll get it right
    out to you.

  • Hi Herve,

    Mouse wheel scrolling will be enabled in the next major release of
    ReportBuilder. Below is a link to an example one of our customers gave us
    to enable the scroll wheel at run time. This is a preview plugin so all you…
  • Hi Patches,

    Granted you have done the typical install of Delphi, ReportBuilder should
    have automatically installed its help in with the Delphi help. You might
    try re-installing ReportBuilder as the Delphi help files can be corr…
  • Hi Frank,

    Sure... our fax number is (303) 531-8036. A screenshot of your report or a
    PDF file attached to an e-mail would also work as well.

  • Frank,

    The use of the CrossTab is probably the easiest way to accomplish the
    dynamic column effect you are after. Otherwise you will have to devise a
    way to create dynamic report columns with left to right traversal set to
  • Hi Frank,

    You may want to check out the CrossTab feature available with ReportBuilder
    Pro or Enterprise. Using the CrossTab wizard you can easily create a report
    as you described below. See the CrossTab demos located in the
  • Hi Bill,

    The ReportBuilder components are created like the other Delphi components
    with default (similar) names and a number tacked on to the end to keep them
    unique. The best way to keep your groups and bands in order would be…
  • William,

    For future reference, please post all RAP questions in the RAP newsgroup.
    In my testing with RB 7.03 in the OnCalc event of a TppVariable in RAP,
    you're code below seemed to work as expected. Try updating to RB 7.03 as…
  • Hi William,

    In my testing with the exact code you gave below, the variable displayed 50
    as expected. When I changed the TppVariable's type to Currency in the
    designer it showed up as $50.00 as expected. Please update to RB 7.0…
  • Hi Kumar,

    Thank you for trying ReportBuilder.

    1. Unfortunately you cannot use the Report.OnAfterPrint when trying to fire
    an event between copies. The Report.OnPageEnd will however fire in between
    copies. You could…

  • Hi Dennis,

    By default, the report is not freed when the preview form is closed. If you
    would like to do so, you will first need to create the report dynamically.
    Then freeing the report object from the preview can be done using…
  • Dennis,

    Thanks for the feedback. I will research this and get back to you as soon
    as possible.

  • Hi Toniko,

    As a test, try setting the Report.PrinterSetup.DelegateCopies to True in RB
    6.02 and see if that helps.

  • Toniko,

    There were no major printing issues in the transistions from RB 4 to RB6.
    As a test try commenting out your event handlers and see if that makes a
    difference. Are you able to tell the difference in printing speeds when<…
  • Hi Nicklas,

    Thanks for the explaination. I went ahead and created a patch for RB 7.03
    that should solve this problem for you. Please send an e-mail to
    support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll send the patch right out to you.
  • Nicklas,

    Please send a small example showing this behavior to
    support@digital-metaphors.com. I will need to know your exact display
    format and numbers you are trying to calculate.

    --
  • Hi Nicklas,

    You are correct, when no display format is defined for a numerical value,
    the FormatFloat method is used. You can see where this is done in the
    ppDisplayFormat.pas file in the Format function. To work around this, …
  • Hi Jon,

    Try placing a dbCalc component in your detail band and set it to Count(*)
    without setting a data field (this is the default when there is not
    datafield defined). This should count the lines out for you.

  • Cristian,

    Please do not cross post. We can only support the current version of
    ReportBuilder. You are required to upgrade to RB 7.03 to receive this
    enhancement.

  • Hi Cristian,

    I'm sorry, we can only support updates for ReportBuilder 7.0 and higher.
    You will need to upgrade to ReportBuilder 7.03 for this enhancement. For
    more information on upgrading, please see the order page of our webs…
  • Hi Cristian,

    Try downloading a copy of ReportBuilder 7.03 trial and test with that. In
    my testing with RB 7.03 and SQL Server 2000, ReportBuilder added in a
    CONVERT command when inserting a date into the where clause. This may…
  • Hi Stacey,

    When adding new reports or folders with the ReportExporer, you will see that
    it automatically updates the Folders and Items tables accordingly. You need
    to make sure that if you are updating these table manually that…
  • Hi Robert,

    Sorry for the delay in this response. I am by no means an expert on the
    Decision Cube but if you are able to extract data from one of its cells, you
    could possibly load it into a report using a JITPipeline. JITPipel…
  • Hi Peter,

    Since not all printers support color printing, this is a printer specific
    feature. You will need to either set this in the advanced settings of your
    printer, or access the printer's Dev mode. See the article below fo…
