  • Hi Petter,

    ReportBuilder 9.02 is available for Delphi 6, Delphi 7, and Delphi 2005 VCL
    Win32. Check out our website for more info
    (http://www.digital-metaphors.com)
  • Hi Petter,

    This may be related to the designer however we have made numerous changes to
    the designer since RB 7.04. Please download a trial copy of RB 9.02 and see
    if the problem still exists. (This was also answered in your…
  • Hi,

    Try setting the SkipWhenNoRecords property of the detailpipeline to False.
    This should allow the master to print even if there is no detail data
    available.

  • Hi,

    I believe the Transparent property is available for the RichText component
    in RB 7.04, however this is probably a printer issue you are experiencing.
    In the past, we have noticed that many printers simply do not handle
  • Ivan,

    It is possible to create your own custom components in ReportBuilder.
    Depending on how much time and effort you would like to spend getting it to
    work correctly is the question you should ask before considering purchasin…
  • Hi Ivan,

    There is a third party component available named Grid Pack for ReportBuilder
    that may be what you are looking for. Check it out at

  • Hi,

    Unfortunately there is no way to find the last group break in a report. The
    Report engine is designed to keep breaking until the data runs out in your
    dataset. It has no sense of the first or last group. A couple of thi…
  • Hi Volkmar,

    Try using the BeforeGroupBreak event of the outer group to check to see if
    the inner group already printed its group footer, then toggle the visibility
    of the line in the outer group accordingly.

  • Hi Mark,

    Glad you found the problem. ReportBuilder 9.02 includes a feature that
    checks for the condition you describe below as well as many other conditions
    described in the article I sent in my earlier post.

  • Hi Filip,

    The Timing settings for Variable 1 look fine (I would use Reset On:
    ReportEnd but no matter).

    You might want to play around with the Reset time of Variable (the
    CalculateOn is unimportant because the calcu…
  • Hi,

    By default the run time packages are compiled with the default language.
    You will need to recompile them with the proper language resource files in
    order to see the translation. See the ReportBuilder Developer's Guide for…

    in Getting RB 9.02 Comment by nicocizik April 2005
  • Hi Nick,

    The PageStyle is meant to act as a static page background band used for
    static lines in a form or water marks. Placing Section style subreports in
    the PageStyle is probably the reason you are not seeing the correct <…
  • Hi,

    If you would like to keep the event code local to the report template, you
    should take a look at RAP. RAP is available with the Enterprise edition of
    ReportBuilder. See the following web page for more information on RAP.…

    The following page shows all the newsgroups we provide for ReportBuilder
    support.

  • Hi Gianantonio,

    Usually when you get different results between the preview and printer, it
    means there is some event code firing (or not firing) that is causing the
    behavior. As a test, try moving the before print code out of…
  • Hi Gianantonio,

    Are you able to print directly, bypassing the preview window? When you
    enter the endless loop, if you pause the program, where in the RBuilder
    source or other source is the application hanging? Try placing a …
  • Hi Kai,

    Instead of trying to "clone" the report object using the assign method, I
    would recommend saving the report template to stream and then loading it
    into another report object. This would essentially create a clone of y…
  • Hi Ron,

    By design, a single report will only traverse one dataset (the connected
    datapipeline). However, using subreports, you can traverse multiple
    datasets in the same report. See the following article for more
    infor…
  • Hi Fabio,

    Unfortunately ReportBuilder is not designed to overflow to the next detail
    band as you want. Your best option would be to allow the print height of
    the main report's detail band to be phDynamic and allow the entire …
  • Hi Weverton,

    If the patch does not solve the problem, please send a small example of the
    issue in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look
    at it for you.

  • Hi Weverton,

    Where are you making the calculation to sum the value of the field? This
    should be done inside the OnCalc event of another TppVariable located inside
    the Detail band. The calc timing settings of the variable ins…
  • Hi Chris,

    send a small example demonstrating this issue that I can run on my machine
    in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look…
  • Hi Chris,

    As a test, try commenting out all your event handlers and see if you can
    get the labels to print correctly. Usually when the printed output does not
    match the previewed output, it is due to some event code firing t…
  • Hi Ronald,

    What is the datatype of your time field? Instead of using a DBCalc to
    calculate the sum of your time field, try using two TppVariables. The
    TppVariable component gives you access to the OnCalc event in which all <…
  • Hi,

    Thanks for the info. I fixed the example to work with the PDF Device.
    Please re-download the example and run it again.

  • Hi Santy,

    should check out RAP. RAP allows you to code your events in the "Calc" tab
    of the designer therefore making each template completely portab…
