  • Hi Wouter,

    Did you receive the email I sent you last week about this issue? Here is
    the explaination again :)
  • Hi Nicolas,

    I am in the process of installing Oracle now so I can test with your
    configuration. I'll get back to you once I find something. Thanks for your
    patience.

  • Hi Nicolas,

    This error is usually caused by the inhability of DADE to successfully
    connect to your database. For new reports, check the
    TppDesigner.DataSettings properties to be sure it all the parameters are
    correct to co…
  • Hi Kumar,

    If possible, please send a small example of this (including the image you
    are loading) in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll try to
    run it on my machine.

  • Hi John,

    When you save a repor template, the database name is saved down with it.
    Are you seeing this behavior when using DADE or just using TDataSets? If
    you are using DADE, take a look at the article below for more informatio…
  • Hi Reid,

    Yes, you will need to use the TppArchiveReader component to view an archive
    file. The Archive Reader is much like the Report Preview in that you can
    load a report, view it, and print it from a similar interface.
    <…
  • Hi Reid,

    You may want to check out ReportBuilder's Archive capabilities. This more
    or less allows you to take a snapshot of a report and view it later without
    the need for data connectivity. See demo 151 (dm0151.pas) in the
  • Hi Emmanuel,

    Are you working in DADE? If so, the use of AutoSearch fields inside a
    subselect is not currently supported. If you are creating the autosearch
    fields manually in Delphi, take a look at the demo located in the
  • Peter,

    Sorry for the missunderstanding. It is possible to give your users the
    ability to change the sort order of a report however this must be done
    before the report is generated (previewed/printed). Using RAP, it is
    pos…

  • Hi Peter,

    ReportBuilder simply traverses the data you provide, it will not sort the
    data for you. All sorting must be done in the dataset before the report is
    generated.

  • Hi Steve,

    The DisplayFormat property on the datapipeline is only used for the Report
    Wizard. When ReportBuilder traverses your data, it retrieves it as raw data
    and then you can use the DisplayFormat property on each individual…
  • Hi Wouter,

    The footer band will always take up a pre-allocated space at the bottom of a
    page. The is the only band you do not have vertical control over. Instead
    of placing lines in each band, I would suggest using the PageSty…
  • Hi Rene,

    If possible, please send a small example demonstrating this behavior in .zip
    format to support@digital-metaphors.com so I can recreate the issue on my
    machine.

  • Hi Wouter,

    There is no automatic way to do this in ReportBuilder. You will need to
    access the TppMemo.Lines.Text property. Then search through this string
    replacing all your specific characters with the (#10) line feed charact…
  • Hi Antony,

    If you are using the Report Explorer, you can set up something similar to
    the end user example except instead of using AdsTables, use AdsQueries.
    Then based on the user's access rights, change the SQL in order to limi…
  • Hi James,

    I would suggest creating two TppRegions inside your main report's detial
    band. Size these regions to exactly half a page, then create your copies of
    the same report inside each region. If you need to traverse detail …
  • Hi Heiko,

    I'm confused when you would like to give your users the ability to do all of
    these things. RAP code only executes when the report generates (i.e. during
    preview or print). Do you want to let your users modify the sor…
  • Hi Heiko,

    Your end users can use the Data Tab of the Report Designer to sort, define
    groups, and create calculated fields if they want. This is specifically
    what DADE is for. You can enable DADE for the end user by adding the …
  • Hi Bob,

    Thanks for the information. We will look into this.

  • Hi Bob,

    The TppLanguageType enumerated type is located in the ppTypes.pas file. Add
    ppTypes to your uses clause and the error should be resolved.

  • Hi Halim,

    There are three ways to approach this type of reporting application.

    1. Control the visibility of the data aware components inside the
    Band.BeforePrint events based on which items you would like your user to
  • Hi German,

    Try using the TppDataPipeline.OnLast event. This event is fired when the
    Pipeline.EOF is true.

  • Hi Branden,

    There was an issue very similar to this one addressed for ReportBuilder
    7.04. Please download the latest version and test with that. I believe
    this should fix the issue you are having.

  • Hi Branden,

    Where are you placing these DBCalc components? Which database are you
    using? I tested this with a Paradox database and everything seemed to work
    correctly. You can take a look at the ReportBuilder source inside th…
  • Hi Branden,

    This is not the normal behavior of ReportBuilder. Which database are you
    using? In my testing with Paradox, null values were seen as 0's and added
    accordingly. Be sure you do not have a ResetGroup defined for your…
  • Hi,

    If you are filtering your dataset, this means the actual data inside is
    being changed. ReportBuilder only traverses the data you give it, it does
    not change your data in any way. If you would like the data used by the
  • Hi Joe,

    Be sure you have TppImage.Transparent set to False. There have been
    numerous updates to the image handling code in ReportBuilder since version
    5.55. Please try downloading a copy of ReportBuilder 7.04 for Delphi 5 and<…
  • Hi Matthew,

    Thanks for the info. I'm sure this will be helpful for anyone else using an
    Oki printer.

  • Hi Matthew,

    I downloaded the Oki 5400dn driver and was able to recreate the AV you are
    seeing. However if you trace into the ReportBuilder source on the AV and
    then into the Delphi source (by adding ($Delphi)\Lib\Debug\ into yo…
