  • Hi Jamie,

    Sorry, there is no way to automatically chang all the SQL for each client
    other than going into DADE and changing the SQL manually or creating a RAP
    method that changes it through code.

  • Hi Joseph,

    If possible, please send a small example demonstrating this behavior in .zip
    format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.

  • Hi Joseph,

    Instead of setting the entire detail band's visible property to False, try
    placing a TppRegion in the band with an invisible border and its ParentWidth
    and ParentHeight set to True and toggling its visibility. This s…
  • Hi Joanne,

    By default, ReportBuilder will set the paper size to Letter unless your
    decimal separator in your Windows Regional Settings is something other than
    a point. You will need to manually set the Report.PrinterSetup.Paper…
  • Hi Craig,

    Sent. I believe the patch is only 20KB so size should not be an issue.

  • Hi Craig,

    I sent the patch to the e-mail below on May 4th without error. I went ahead
    and sent it again just now. Let me know if you receive it. If not... is
    there another e-mail address I can send to?

  • Craig,

    I'm very sorry for the delay. We must not have received your email. Please
    send another similar email and I will personally be sure you get it this
    time.

  • Hi Craig,

    There is a patch available that may fix this issue. Please send a quick
    e-mail to support@digital-metaphors.com requesting the bitmap patch and
    we'll send it right out to you.

  • SeHun,

    There are no issues like this one with the current version of ReportBuilder.
    Please download a trial version of ReportBuilder 7.03 for Delphi 5 and test
    with that. If the problem still exists, please send a small example…
  • Hi Mike,

    1. You can access the current record by using the Report.DataPipeline
    property. For instance manually calculating a sum would look something like
    the following:

    Value := Value + Report.DataPipeline['AmountP…
  • Neil,

    Unfortunately it is not possible to group on multiple fields in
    ReportBuilder. Creating a single query with the two fields selected would
    be your best bet for this situation.

  • Hi Santy,

    If you have a report with its own SQL statement, I assume you are using DADE
    and have created a data module to view your data. It could be possible to
    disconnect this datapipeline at runtime in one of the template eve…
  • This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
  • Hi Gerson,

    The you are getting an 'IEdiSeri' or 'IEdiCha' error message when you try to
    compile a project that contains TeeChart functionality, is that you are
    using the version of TeeChart that comes with Delphi and Steema no l…
  • Hi Gilbert,

    There is a patch available that should fix this issue. Please send an email
    to support@digital-metaphors.com requesting the ppUtils patch and we'll send
    it right out to you.

  • Hi Gary,

    The raCodMod.dcu file should be included with the Enterprise Edition of
    ReportBuilder 7.03. We have not had any issues with this file not being
    installed with ReportBuilder. Please try reinstalling and see if the file…
  • Hi Gary,

    You need to add raCodMod to your uses clause.

  • Hi SeHun,

    ReportBuilder 7.03 is available for Delphi 5, 6, and 7. If you would like
    to see the current complete list of features for ReportBuilder 7.03, please

  • Hi Jim,

    Do you mean page columns or columns of data. If you need to create dynamic
    columns of data, check out the following example. It dynamically creates
    columns of data in your report at runtime based on how many fields are…
  • Hi Dorremi,

    The Report.DeviceType property was added to replace the Device property way
    back in ReportBuilder 4.0. If your end-users are using a version of
    ReportBuilder that is older than that and you created the reports in a …
  • Hello,

    Unfortunately ReportBuilder does not support Unicode or Multibyte character
    sets.

  • Hi Rene,

    The CrossTab component is a very powerful and useful tool for its specific
    purpose. It was designed to only use numerical values. Unfortunately the
    CrossTab components is not very easily customizable. Very quickly I …
  • Hi Diana,

    I believe this is a limitation of SQL itself. You cannot use an existing
    aggregate function's field alias inside another aggregate function. As an
    alternative, you could make a larger expression that includes the fir…
  • Hi Nick,

    If you are loading templates, you could use the template events to
    re-position each report component using an object loop. I would suggest
    using the OnLoadEnd event as your starting point. Check out the articles
  • Hi Pavel,

    By default Delphi applications only have one Taskbar icon. The in a
    multiple form application, the main application window is the only one that
    has the WS_EX_APPWINDOW extended window style. Secondary windows then
  • Hi Mike,

    Sorry about that. Check out the following example by clicking on the link
    below. This example loads the Label Wizard automatically in code before
    printing the report. You could do something similar or you could repla…
  • Hi Mike,

    Depending on how sophisticated you need this to be, it shouldn't be too
    difficult to implement. From what I can gather (and correct me if I'm
    wrong) you would like a dialog to show up before the user prints/previews a<…
  • Hi Michael,

    It should be possible to create a dialog before the report is loaded that
    loops through each component in your report and gives your users the ability
    to print them or not. If you are loading your reports from templ…
  • Mike,

    Thank you for the information. I will research this and get back to you
    asap.

  • Rick,

    Thanks for the feedback. The reason these menu items act like radio button
    items is based on the fact that they are mutually exclusive. We welcome any
    suggestions on how to make this easier to understand.
