  • Hi Joe,

    I installed the HP 5P driver on my machine and tested a report with the
    DBCheckbox and everything seemed to work correctly. There were no updates
    to the DBCheckBox component between versions 7.03 and 7.04. Are you cert…
  • Hi Joe,

    We have not seen this behavior before. Are your customers able to print any
    of their reports? Perhaps a simple report with a lable or shape on it. You
    might try removing objects from the report in question to isolate …
  • Hi Ronny,

    Sorry, the ReportTabs property is located in the TppDesignerWindow class and
    can be accessed through the TppDesigner.Form property. Here is some code I
    just put together that changes the subreport tab as the designer …
  • Hi Ronny,

    You can use the TppDesigner.ReportTabs property to access the TTabSet used
    in the designer window. Changing this in the OnShow event of the designer
    should open the designer in the given subreport.

  • Hi Andre,

    Check out demo 122 and 124 located in the RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\...
    directory. (dm0122.pas, dm0124.pas). 122 will show you how to print to
    multiple devices at the same time and 124 shows how to send certain pages …
  • Hi Terry,

    Thanks for the feedback. I will mark this down as a possible enhancement.

    One note, just because no records are printed as a result of a break value
    change, does not mean that the group will not print. The grou…
  • Hi Terry,

    ReportBuilder does not consider the last group printed to have "broken" so
    therefore would not count the only group in the report to have broken. If
    you are using the BreakNo property to count the actual number of gro…
  • Hi Eric,

    The easiest way around this issue is to make each invoice its own print job.
    This can easily be done by moving all your invoice information to a Section
    Style subreport, which resides by itself in the detail band of the…
  • Hi CH,

    When a subreport is not visible or in drilldown mode, the components
    contained inside the subreport are not automatically created. Since you are
    using ReportBuilder components to make calculations, you need these
    co…

    Thanks for the info. We will research this.

  • Hi Craig,

    This is not a known behavior. Which version of ReportBuilder are you using?
    If you remove the images from the richtext components, do you still have the
    overlapping problem? If you use original TppRichText components…
  • Hi Ben,

    Try placing the OnPrint code inside the OnStartPage event just below the
    existing code. Another option would be to place the label inside the
    PageStyle band which prints in the background of each page in the report.
  • Hi Deck,

    Unfortunately, there is no build in way to run the Query Wizard and Report
    Wizard simultaneously or in sequential order. You could possibly open the
    designer in the data workspace, giving your users immediate acces to …
  • Hi Rob,

    Sorry, this help file was apparently not updated when the source code for
    this method was. When a page cannot be generated, you will now most likely
    receive an exception on the component or page containing a description…
  • Hi William,

    Try deleting your rbuilder.ini file located in your {$WINSYS} directory.
    (\Windows\ or \WINNT\.)

  • Hi Rodger,

    Are you by chance using Delphi 5 and ReportBuilder 7.04? If so, there was
    an issue with the About Box that was fixed a couple days after our initial
    release of RB 7.04. Try downloading ReportBuilder 7.04 for Delphi …
  • Hi Rodger,

    Is this occuring at run time or design time. The lblTrademarkSymbol2 is the
    "Symbol" font and the "?" character. I'm not sure if this has anything to
    do with the error you are receiving. Try loading the ppAbout.pas…
  • Hi Mika,

    As an initial step to customizing the crosstab component is to understand
    how it originally works. The TppCrossTab component is extensively
    documented and I would suggest reading through the help files on the
    TppM…
  • Hi Roman,

    If you are printing to file, the device selected in the printer drop down
    should not matter. Once you select the Print to File option on the Print
    Dialog, this becomes irrelevant. Are your customers getting an AV w…
  • Hi Roman,


    What is the purpose of doing this? Are you trying to export to a different
    format using TExtraDevices? Are you trying to print to a PRN file? I am
    unclear why or how you would like to print a report without …
  • Hi Roman,

    I am still unable to recreate this error. I have traced through the code
    you mentioned and everything seemed to work correctly. Is there something
    else I'm missing here? When you say that you stop the spooler, are…
  • Hi Roman,

    What does the AV message say? Are you able to trace into the RB code after
    the AV error occurs? Try setting your Delphi IDE to stop on exceptions and
    see if you can do so.

  • Hi Roman,

    In my testing with RB 7.04 and Delphi 5, printing from the preview with no
    printers installed on my computer throws an exception claiming that it is
    not possible to print using the screen device. This is purely an
  • Hi Roman,

    Thanks for the feedback. This was an issue in ReportBuilder 6.x and has
    been addressed in RB 7.x by adding the Screen device as a printer when no
    printers are installed on a computer. This automatically assigns the
  • Al,

    First, have you taken a look at the Report Explorer. This was designed to
    prevent exactly what you are encountering, and gives your users an easy to
    use interface for creating, deleting, and editing reports with the

  • Hi Marc,

    I apologize for the delay. I seemed to have misplaced your message. I will
    take a look at the example you sent and give you a response by e-mail today.

  • Hi Frederic,

    This could be caused by a number of things. One common item to check is
    that your application is free of memory and resource leaks by using a QA
    tool such as Sleuth QA by TurboPower or MemCheck

  • Frederic,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. Which version of
    ReportBuilder are you using? Is this the first time something like this has
    happened? Are you accessing you database over a network? Perhaps there was<…
  • Hi Yelena,

    If you use a two pass report, you can check the Report.AbsolutePageCount and
    AbsolutePageNo to find the last page of the report and set a label visible.
    Here is the code I used in the FooterBand.BeforePrint event in R…
  • Hi Yelena,

    Unfortunately, this is how the summary band must work with columns according
    to the rules of the Report engine. Once a column fills up all the space it
    is given, the engine assumes that there is no space left on the …
