  • Hi Alan,

    Inside ReportBuilder you will need to connect your chart to a DataPipeline
    object on your form (or in DADE). Do this by selecting the Series |
    DataSource tab in the chart editor. Then select "DataPipeline" from the
  • Hi Kumar,

    Usually when the output on paper does not match the output on screen there
    is some event code causing the discrepancy. Try commenting out all your
    event code and re-running the report. If this solves the problem,

    For future reference, please post a new message when you have a new topic to

  • Hi Kumar,

    I'm not exactly sure why this had an effect on the printer output as well.
    Perhaps the printer defaults were overriding the initial ReportBuilder
    settings. All printers and printer drivers are same in the fact that th…
  • Hi Kumar,

    Most printers define an "unprintable area" which is generally about 0.25
    inches from the edge of the page. When you set the margins of a report to
    something smaller than this, you can get various effects when printing…
  • Hi Kumar,

    The paper size may in fact be the problem here. You might try changing your
    reporting units to millimeters and see if that helps. Also, you might try
    dowloading a trial version of ReportBuilder 7.03 and see if that m…
  • Hi Kumar,

    We have not heard of this issue before. Be sure your printer does not have
    a setting to manually feed the paper once the printing has finished. Also,
    check to see that your margins are set correctly. Printing to a d…
  • Hi Ricardo,

    Unfortunately this type of formatting is not supported in the TppCrossTab
    component. You may try checking out Grid Pack by William Yu. It is a third
    party addon to ReportBuilder and may have the features you need.<…
  • Hi Andy,

    Unfortunately the CrossTab component does not contain any logic to make
    these types of calculations. It should not be too difficult to create this
    type of report manually either making the calculations inside your data…
  • Hi Mike,

    Check out the following example that creates a table of contents with dots
    separating the section and page number by using the text width. You may be
    able to do something similar.

    Take a look at the following example on how to shade every other detail band
    a different color. Hope this helps.

    ReportBuilder newsgroup archives may be searched using a search engine
    hosted by Tamarack Associates. Access the the following URL and then search

  • Hi Jamie,

    There is a third party component available from our website free of charge
    named RotatedText. This gives you a label component that can be rotated to
    any angle you like inside a Report.

  • Hi Giles,

    You will need to use the template event OnLoadEnd to get access to the
    report once the template has loaded. Here is another article that may be
    helpful.

  • Hi Giles,

    The reason these events are not firing is that you are loading templates
    into your report object and once this is done, all event handler references
    are lost. The best way to work around this issue is to keep the even…

  • Hi Asif,

    By definition the crosstab component will sort your data in ascending or
    descending order based on the master key field in your datset. One way to
    work around this restriction would be to create another field in your
  • Hi Felix,

    I created an example for you that adds a unique caption for each copy when
    collate pages is set to False. It essentially uses the
    TppPrinterDevice.OnStartPage event to add a unique TppDrawText to the report
    on th…

  • Hello,

    Which export utility are you using to convert your reports to HTML? If you
    are using the ReportBuilder Server edition to convert to XHTML, please send
    a small example of your report to support@digital-metaphors.com in .z…
  • Hi Jorge,

    ReportBuilder is shipped with a Text File device and Archive Device
    included. If you would like to export your reports to other formats such as
    RTF or PDF, you will need to purchase one of the following third party
  • Hi Patrick,

    Try simply placing two Section Style subreports inside the detail band of
    the main report. Connect each subreport to the same datset and place the
    same form image inside each one. This should then print two separat…
  • Hi Christophe,

    We have not encountered this behavior before in ReportBuilder. We currently
    have many customers using ReportBuilder on the Windows Server 2003 OS
    without problem. Does this happen with every report you run on yo…
  • Hi Barry,

    There is a Skip Nulls property for each value in a CrossTab that by default
    is set to True. The easiest way to set this value is to right click over a
    Value definition (caption) and uncheck the "Skip Nulls" option in …
  • Hi Stacey,

    We have never had this issue reported before. All of the barcodes have been
    tested successfully. Perhaps (as a test) try printing to a different
    printer or exportign to PDF and printing from Acrobat Reader to see if…

    Yes it is.

  • Hi Jon,

    Though I have not tried it this way, ReportBuilder should pick up on the
    value type of the variant if you format it this way. You could also (using
    the listbox in the upper left corner when you create a TppVariable) man…
  • Hi Jon,


    Unfortunately not. By default the ftBCD type is set to the dtDouble data
    type in ReportBuilder since BCD values do not always imply a currency value.
    You will need to use a TppVariable to calculate the sum and set…
  • Hi Craig,

    Unfortunately there is no built-in way to "squeeze" a mail merge RichText.
    You may however be able to check the field value inside the
    DetailBand.BeforePrint event and if a certain value is null, edit the

  • Hi Fred,

    You will need to loop through all the objects in your report once you have
    loaded the templates into each subreport. See the article below on how to
    do this.
