  • Hi Bob,

    Thanks for the example. I just sent a response to your email address. Let
    me know if your received it.

  • Hi Bob,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. ReportBuilder converts all
    measurements to microns (Thousandths of millimeters) before converting back
    to device units (i.e. screen pixels or printer pixels). Are you certa…
  • Hi George,

    Thanks for pointing this out. It is on our todo list to improve the
    copy/paste features of ReportBuilder as it is obvious there are some issues.
    I do not believe this is causing the spacing issues you are experiencin…
  • Hi Gunter,

    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Hi Reid,

    Sorry for the delay in this response. My newsreader somehow lost track of
    this thread.

    The only reason ReportBuilder will try check for a template file is if the
    Report.SaveAsTemplate property is set to True…
  • Hi Reid,

    Be sure you have the Report.SaveAsTemplate property set to False. If this
    property is enabled, the report will try to load the template file when it
    is created.

  • Hi Steffen,

    Unfortunately there is not any specific documentation on the ReportBuilder
    Register routines. There are however numerous examples of how to use these
    methods located in the Developer's Guide, Demo applications, and …
  • Hi Peter,

    You may try contacting Pragnaan to see if there was a bug fix if the
    compression does in fact not work correctly. There are two other third
    party export components that use similar compression techniques available.
  • Hi Ailton,

    Please upgrade to ReportBuilder 7.04 and see if the issue still exists. If
    it does, please put together a small example using the DBDEMOS database that
    demonstrates this behavior and send it in .zip format to
    su…
  • Hi David,

    Updating your application is generally very easy when storing templates on a
    database. The only difficulty you might encounter is if you decide to
    change your database and connectivity type for an upgrade. Then you w…
  • Hi David,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. Does this exception occure
    every time your user tries to print? Are they able to print to another
    printer successfully? Are they able to print from another computer
  • Hi Diego,

    If the printing appears correct with one OS and not another, this is most
    likely a problem with the printer driver. ReportBuilder uses the same code
    to print to every printer on every version of Windows you use. The …
  • Hi Kevin,

    Check out demos 14 -18 (dm0014.pas - dm0018.pas) located in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory for a good set of examples on how
    to create this type of report using groups.

  • Hi Martin,

    You should be able to simply use the Delphi routine TrimRight instead of
    using ppTrimRight in the latest version.

  • Hi Steven,

    Based on the information you've given, I'm unsure why this is not showing
    all your records for each master record. Just to be sure, you do realize
    that grouping on the linking field in a subreport is only going to gi…
  • Hi Steven,

    ReportBuilder will traverse you data top to bottom one by one in the order
    you set for you dataset. If you would like to group on a non-primary key
    field, you need to be sure you order your dataset on that field. Th…
  • Hi Martha,

    Check out the following example which creates a simple Preview plugin in
    which the print button is invisible.

  • Hi Steve,

    Unfortunately this is not a built in feature of ReportBuilder. There are
    however a few third party export utilities available that will allow you to
    email your reports directly.

  • Hi Filip,

    Sorry, I am unsure what you would like your report to look like. You say
    you have no data in the detail band but if your subreports inside the detail
    band are not connected to a datapipeline, there is no way for data …
  • Hi Filip,

    First keep in mind that the Header and Footer bands are not available in a
    Child Subreport. Instead you will need to use the Title/Summary or
    GroupHeader/GroupFooter bands.

    As a test, try placing a break po…
  • Ivan,

    After looking on the Steema site, it looks as though TeeChart 7.01 has not
    yet been released. ReportBuilder does not support the beta versions of
    TeeChart. You will need to continue to use TeeChart 7.0 until the final
  • Hi Ivan,

    Sorry about that, I seemed to ignore the fact that you are using TeeChart
    7.01. The Steema guys must have just released this version without me
    knowing about it. ReportBuilder 7.04 was built with TeeChart 7.0 packages…
  • Ivan,

    ReportBuilder 7.04 was built with the TeeChart 7.01 packages. Be sure you
    do not have any old TeeChart packages still in your library path, or old
    ReportBuilder/TeeChart packages. You can also try changing your library
  • Hi Alex,

    Unfortunately there is no direct way to display PDF information inside a
    report. If you could somehow convert the PDF file into RichText or a WMF
    file, you could then display this information inside the TppRichText or<…
  • Hi Mike,

    If you are loading templates, you need to be sure that this property is
    saved as false when you create them. Once you load a template into a report
    object, the report properties you set at design time are overridden by…
  • Hi Filip,

    I couldn't have said it better myself :).

  • Hi Filip,

    When using a Fixed style subreport, you need to be sure the height of the
    subreport is large enough to display the memo. The subreport will only show
    up as it is sized on the main report. Try increasing the height of…
  • Hi Matthew,

    In the past we have noticed that some printers do not handle grey colored
    text very well. Be sure the text component's Transparency property is set
    to false and that you are using the latest version of the printer d…

  • Hi James,

    Printing to dot matrix is very difficult because ReportBuilder make
    measurements in device pixels and microns, where dot matrix printers measure
    in lines of text and character position. To make things even more
    d…
  • Hi Matthew,

    I replied to your previous post with an answer to this question.
