  • Hi Roberto,

    The image handling code was enhanced for the latest release of
    ReportBuilder, RB 9. It was also enhanced for RB 7.04, which is the last
    version of RB available for Delphi 5. If you would like to continue to use <…

    I'm not sure when this was changed but in my testing with RB 9.01, you are
    able to click the Preview tab, then back to the Design tab and still remain
    designing the subreport you were using. Try downloading a trial ve…

  • Hi David,

    The DBCalc component is designed to calculate the sum of a datafield. If
    you need to calculate the sum of a TppVariable, you can place another
    TppVariable where you would like the sum to appear and simply update its…

    The latest version of ReportBuilder includes more enhanced support for
    endless page detection. This will let the user know that their report has
    entered an endless page state and automatically stop the generation. I

  • Hi Jaime,

    Sorry, this is a limitation of the multi-select feature in ReportBuilder.
    We will look into enhancing this for a later release of ReportBuilder.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • Hi Preston,

    The z-order defines when the report component is created in relation to
    other components in that band. The CalcOrder determines when the OnCalc
    event will fire in relation to other TppVariables in that band. In m…

    Do not set the printer name manually. Use the
    Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterNames property to select which printer you would
    like to use.

  • Hi Dmitri,

    We do not know of any issues with TeeChart 6, RB, and Windows 98, but
    Windows 98 has been known to leak memory extensively. You might want to try
    to upgrade your version of TeeChart and see if that makes a differen…

  • Hi Dmitri,

    This is not a known issue with RB 9.01. Which version of TeeChart are you
    currently using? I do not currently have access to a Windows 98 machine but
    I will test this situation on Monday and get back to you.

    There is a MySql plugin available from our website. I am unsure about its

    The ReportBuilder Designer was not designed to be easily changed or
    customized at design time. This will require you to change the
    ReportBuilder source, adding these new menu options, then recompiling and

  • Hi Gerry,

    Sorry, ReportBuilder 9 or later is the only version that supports Delphi
    2005. You will need to upgrade to RB 9.01 in order to successfully use RB
    and Delphi 2005.

    Does this happen with all your old reports? Are you able to recreate this

  • Hi Rob,

    I'm a bit unclear about what you mean by the "Objects" section of RB. Is
    this issue in the designer or the previewer? Are you trying to disable the
    ability to place objects on a report except for the subreports?

    ReportBuilder uses the built in Delphi routines ObjectBinaryToText and
