  • ReportBuilder 9.01 is available for Delphi 6, Delphi 7, and Delphi 2005 VCL
    Win32. Below is a snip from our RB 9.0 release notes addressing .NET.

  • Hi Colin,

    Instead of the Footer band, you can try using the Summary band. This will
    print just below the last detail band in your report. If you need this sum
    to print on each page, you can adjust the drawcommand position of…
  • Hi,

    In my testing with ReportBuilder 9.01, this seemed to work as expected.
    Please download a trial copy of RB 9.01 and test with that.

  • Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Are you able to recreate this
    issue in demos 101 - 106 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\...

    application…
  • Hi Edwin,

    In short... unfortunately no.

    ReportBuilder 9 for Delphi 2005 natively supports TeeChart 7.01. We
    currently have a patch available including the compiled packages for
    TeeChart 7.02. The next maintanence …
  • Try running demos 101 - 106 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\...
    directory. These demos export different reports to a text file. If these
    work correctly, please send a sample of your application in .zip format to
    support…
  • Hi Brandie,

    Are you exporting to a report emulation text file, or a delimited text file?

    Are these DBText objects in a subreport? If so, this is the reason they are
    not printing. Take a look at the following example on …
  • Hi Brandie,

    If you are saving to a text file, you need to set the Save property of each
    text component you would like to show up to True. You can also control
    these settings using the Print To File Setup dialog available by s…
  • Hi Red,

    Check out Demo 92 (dm0092.pas) located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\...

  • Hi Red,

    The simplest way would be to stick with aggregate fields in your dataset
    rather than use calculated fields in RB. This is the way TeeChart was
    designed to be used with ReportBuilder.

    The Chart property of t…
  • Hi Red,

    There is no automatic way to use the calculation from a report in a
    TeeChart, however, the TppTeeChart component is simply a wrapper around a
    TCustomChart object. You can access this object using the TppTeeChart.Chart…
  • Hi Denise,

    Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi are you using? If possible, please
    construct a small example that demonstrates this behaivor and send it in
    .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at…
  • Hi Erwin,

    I apologize, I accidentally sent a reply to your e-mail.

    Take a look at the following example. It uses subreports and then reorders
    the pages to give the effect you are after.

  • Hi John,

    ReportBuilder calls the EnumPrinters Windows API method to get all the
    printers currently installed or connected to the local computer. We made
    the conscious decision not to poll the network for other printers due to…
  • Hi Preston,

    Try setting the DataPipeline.OpenDataSource property to False. This is a
    published property so it is available in the Delphi Object Inspector.

  • Hi,

    Thanks very much for the info. I will take a look at your changes.

  • Hi Larry,

    Sorry, I assumed this was occuring at runtime because you included some
    event code at the bottom of your last post. This is not a known issue with
    ReportBuilder at design time. Which version of RB/Delphi are you us…
  • Hi Larry,

    Where is the application stopping when the AV occurs?

  • Hi Jeremy,

    Thanks for the info. Does this error occur when printing any report? Have
    your customers every been able to successfully see the print dialog? Are
    you able to recreate this issue using RB 9.01?

    As a wo…
  • Hi Jeremy,

    This may have something to do with the fact that you are running this report
    on a terminal service. Try changing your library path to
    \RBuilder\Source\... and see if you can trace where the problem is occuring
  • Try setting the TppJITPipeline.SkipWhenNoRecords property to False.

  • Hi Joey,

    There should be no difference between using the default Previewer and your
    own because they both use the same screen device to output your report. Is
    there any event code you are including that could be causing this …
  • Hi Rhett,

    I would recommend creating a report object loop and checking the font of
    each text object. As you loop through each object, you can add each font to
    a list if it has not already been added. See the article below on…
  • Hi Stanley,

    Rather than define the value of the variable in the OnCalc event, just
    define it in the DetailBand.BeforePrint event. This should work the same in
    RAP as it does in Delphi.

    --
    Regards,

  • Hi Stanley,

    Double check to be sure the types match for the value of the TppVariable.
    This is usually the only reason you will receive this error when running
    your RAP code. You can post your code here and I'll test it on my …
  • Hi Stanley,

    Usually for any type of variable manipulation you will want to use the
    TppVariable.OnCalc event. However in your case you will probably want to
    try to increase the value of the variable inside the DetailBand.Befor…
  • Hi Stanley,

    Depending on how large your detail band is, you could adjust the
    DetailBand.BandsPerRecord property to print the correct amound of detail
    bands per record to fill the proper amount of pages. For instance if your <…
  • Hi Si,

    What type is your variable set to? If it is a string type (dtString),
    ReportBuilder will format the text using the FormatMaskText method. If you
    change your varialbe to a numeric or currency type, you should be able t…
  • Hi Laurent,

    We use Windows XP SP2 on most of our computers here and have not noticed a
    change in performance (while using ReportBuilder 9.01). Please download a
    trial copy of RB 9.01 for Delphi 6 and see if that fixes the pro…
