  • Hi Erich,

    In order to successfully help you with any issues you are having, I'm going
    to need a little more information about the problems you are experiencing

  • Hi Jack,

    When you say "miss one data row" are you missing an entire detail band that
    you expect? Is this happening across a page break by chance? I personally
    have never seen this behavior with RB 7.04. If possible, please …
  • Hi Alessandro,

    I'm still a little unclear about what you would like your report to look
    like. Yes this is a Master/Detail report but how are the pipelines
    connected? Are both subreports connected to the same datapipeline? I…
  • Hi Alessandro,

    If I understand correctly, you would like the 5 records from the subreport
    to print in the same spot on each page of your report. Are you connecting
    these in a Master/Detail relationship? Do you want the same …
  • Hi Stuart,

    We have had a couple other reports of this error, but I am unable to
    recreate it on my machine. Please give me the exact steps you take to
    recreate the AV on your machine including you environment setup, whether yo…
  • Hi Stuart,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder 9.01. I went ahead and did the
    tutorial you were trying and was unable to recreate the AV you mention. Are
    you able to see the error simply by placing a shape on an emp…
  • Hi Red,

    Instead of using a DBCalc (which is what I assume you are using), try using
    two TppVariables (one in the detail band, and one in the group footer).
    Then inside the OnCalc event of the first TppVariable, you can update …
  • Hi Red,

    Which database are you connecting to? Which connectivity are you using? Is
    the Final_Clearance field a string field? Dade simply generates the SQL
    that gets sent to your database. You might try manually entering th…
  • Hi Jurgen,

    Yes, you will need to enhance the ReportBuilder RichText capabilities in
    order to print a RichText with right-alligned tabes. This can be done with
    the use of InfoPower or WPTools (or perhaps another tool as you me…
  • Hi Jurgen,

    See the following article on the ReportBuilder richtext architecture and how
    to enhance it.

  • Verissimo,

    All ReportBuilder does is enter the generated SQL into your database and
    gather the data returned. Once you've completed designing your query are
    you able to preview the data successfully? In my testing with our O…
  • Hi Verissimo,

    Which database/connectivity are you using. If you enter the SQL
    ReportBuilder creates directly into your database, do you get the same
    effect?

  • Hi Ingo,

    Are these memos inside the HeaderBand of the report or a GroupHeader band?
    Do you have the band's PrintHeight set to phDynamic? By default, a memo set
    to stretch will continue on the next page if it overflows. In my…
  • Hi Igor,

    Thank you for the feedback and the information on some of our RichText
    issues. All of your observations have been taken into account and all the
    bugs you have discovered will be fixed for the next release of
    Re…
  • Hi Ingo,

    In my testing, the code you posted below seems to work correctly. Which
    event are you assigning the RichText property of the TppRichText component?

  • Hi Leo,

    It is possible to combine numerous reports into one using subreports. See
    the following example on dynamically creating subreports and loading the
    reports from other forms into them to create a single report.
  • Hi Filip,

    All the strings in ReportBuilder can be translated using the RB Language
    Translator. Information on this application can be found in the
    \RBuilder\Languages\... directory.

    It is also possible to completel…
  • Hi Ronhald,

    You can use the Timing dialog of the TppVariable component to determine when
    it should reset. You can access the Timing dialog by right clicking over
    the variable component and selecting "timing" from the popup me…
  • Hi Al,

    I am unable to recreate this behavior on my machine. The two tests I
    performed were to place two report objects on a form, one with a letter page
    size and one with an envelope 10 page size. Then printed each report on…
  • Hi Andrew,

    If you are updating the font size in code the width of the label will not
    ever be updated in the TppLabel component before printing. This measurement
    is made in the draw command before sending it to the printer dev…
  • Hi Nols,

    This seems to be more of a Delphi issue rather than a ReportBuilder one.
    According to the Delphi help file, hitting F9 or clicking the "run" button
    compiles, then runs your application. This should be no different th…
  • Hi Jesus,

    Yes this is possible either using a DBCalc component to calculate the sum
    automatically or using a TppVariable to calculate it manually. All you need
    to do is be sure the LookAhead property for each of these compone…
    in Groups Comment by nicocizik January 2005
  • Hi Rob,

    Unfortunately there is not a reliable way to force a group to break on each
    page of your report. It is on our wish list to perhaps one day create a
    "page summary" band that will print like the group footer or summary …
  • Hi Gilbert,

    In my testing with ReportBuilder 9.01, the field aliases were being used in
    the TppDBTeeChart component when I tried to set the Labels and Values
    properties. Which version of ReportBuilder are you currently using?…
  • Hi Steffen,

    ReportBuilder 9.01 for Delphi 7 was compiled with TeeChart 7.01 so you
    should not be receiving this error unless you are linking in some older .dcu
    files from somewhere on your computer. Check your library path to…
  • Hi David,

    I'm not sure this will increase the speed any but check out Demo 153 located
    in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory. This demos spawns a new
    page for each drilldown link you hit. You might try setting your…

  • Hi Jamie,

    This can be done using a fixed style subreport and LeftToRight traversing
    columns. You will need to have your datasets in a Master/Detail
    relationship in order to get the effect you are after. I created a small

    In order to calculate the percentage of a group or grand total, you need to
    create a two pass report, calculating the group, or grand total in the first
    pass, then calculating the percentage of those totals in the …
