Hi Jim,

The ability to control the drop down box in the Print dialog is not
available in the current version of ReportBuilder. We have had many
requests for this feature and it is on our todo list for a future release.

Hi Heiko,

In my testing with a large memo inside a dynamic height detail band, the
page header and page footer bands seemed to show up for each page as
expected. Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Are these memos

Tony,

Where are you making this call from? The best place to make a call to this
method is before the Report.Print call is made. Any attempt to move the
groups around during report generation has a good chance of either produc…

Hi Vincenzo,

Unfortunately it is not possible to obtain the record count before the
datapipeline has traversed all the data. As a workaround you could create a
sub-query in DADE (or on your form) that just returns the COUNT of …

Hi Jorge,

ReportBuilder 7.03 is the latest release. The latest version of
TExtraDevices should work correctly with your version of ReportBuilder. Be
sure you are still not linking in any old files or packages in your library

in [OT] Sorry, I need ExtraDevices for RB 7.03 Comment by nicocizik May 2004

Hi Jon,

This is possible if you install each version of ReportBuilder with a
different version of Delphi. For instance, you could have RB 6.03 for
Delphi 6 installed and RB 7.03 for Delphi 7 installed at the same time
with…

Hi Ian,

ReportBuilder used the exact same API calls to communicate with the
connected printer driver in Windows 98 that it used in Windows XP. The only
difference is the printer driver. Unfortunately the Windows 98 memory

in Parameter is incorrect error in Win98 Comment by nicocizik May 2004

Hi Ian,

If the report prints fine in Windows XP and not in Windows 98, it is most
likely a printer driver issue. Have your customer download the latest
drivers for the printer they are using and re-run the report. Also, Window…

Try using the FileExists method in the SysUtils unit.

Hi Moro,

1. If you are loading a jpeg or gif, be sure you have the corresponding
ReportBuilder units in your "uses" clause... ppJPEG, or ppGif.

Hi Gary,

There is a patch available for RB 7.03 that may fix this issue. Please send

Hi Karen,

Unfortunately, there is no way to display grid lines between each detail
line in the current CrossTab component. I will mark this down as a possible
enhancement for the next release of ReportBuilder.

Hi Rob,

Sorry, the z-order is the only way ReportBuilder knows which drawcommands to
render to a page at a given time. You will either need to inform your users
of this requirement, or perhaps create a utility that loops throug…

in Using a variable in another calculation Comment by nicocizik May 2004

Hi Rob,

Yes, this type of calculation should be possible in ReportBuilder. Remember
that if these two variables are in the same band, you will need to adjust
the z-order of the variables (send to back, bring to front) to ensure…

Are you trying to do this at runtime in code or at design time in the Report

in Progressbar Comment by nicocizik May 2004

Hi Tony,

The reason this is failing is that when you free an object, ReportBuilder is
notified of this and automatically updates the Band.ObjectCount for the
current band. For instance if you had two objects in a band and use t…

Hi Kevin,

Try setting Report.CachePages to True. This will cache each page in memory
so RB should not have to re-access the dataset.
