  • Hi Roberto,

    ReportBuilder currently offers a Report Tree, displaying all the report
    components in their respective bands, and a Data Tree, displaying all the
    data fields in each dataset. You can view these tree structures by …

  • Hi Tom,

    RB 7.04 and TeeChart 7.04 are not compatable (see the ReportBuilder
    Reference | TeeChart section in the rbuilder.hlp file). ReportBuilder 9.02
    for Delphi 7 and Delphi 2005 are fully compatable with the latest release …
  • Hi Don,

    Please upgrade to ReportBuilder 9.02 and re-test. If the problem still
    occurs, send a small example of this behavior to
    support@digital-metaphors.com in .zip format and I'll take a look at it for
    you.

  • Hi Ron,

    From your image, it looks like the dates that are right aligned are
    formatted a bit different than the other dates in the list. The dates that
    are left aligned have a leading "0" before the month number. Perhaps try …
  • Hi Ron,

    We request that if you would like to send an attachment with your question
    that you please do so via. email. Please see the newsgroup guidelines for a
    full explaination.

    For future reference, please send all attachments to

    Which type of file are you printing to? Are you exporting your report to a
    PDF file, or Archive file perhaps? From you…
  • Hi John,

    ReportBuilder 9 or higher includes native support for exporting your reports
    to PDF. If you would like to see this feature in action, check out the PDF
    demos (108 and 109) located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\..…

  • Hi Rich,

    When creating a grid a precise as you want it, be sure you use the
    measurement properties to position each component on your report. This will
    ensure the highest quality in detail when printing to the printer. See t…

  • Alex,

    Sorry, I'm a bit confused about what your report looks like. Do you have a
    subreport with a dynamic height detail band located in your main report's
    footer band? If so, you are still trying to print a dynamically sized…
  • Hi Alex,

    This is not a known issue, however note that the footer band is the only
    band that is not dynamic so it will not stretch or grow with your controls.
    Be sure the size of your richtext control does not exceed the size o…
  • Hi Yelena,

    Be sure you have the TppMemo.Transparent property set to False.

  • Hi Vincent,

    This is either something that the third party export tool has already
    implemented or something that you will have to implement yourself. If you
    want to do this yourself, take a look at the Windows API function
  • Hi Vincent,

    If you are using RB 9.02, there is a property in the TppReport.PDFSettings
    named OpenPDFFile that when set to True, will open the created PDF file
    using your default viewer after it has been exported.

  • Hi Rab,

    Unfortunately the RB barcode component does not support tab characters. I
    would suggest using two separate barcode components to get a similar effect.

  • Hi Hidhayathulla,

    This is not a known error, however ReportBuilder 4 is an extremely old
    version and could possibly be causing a problem. I would suggest trying to
    upgrade your version of ReportBuilder to a newer version and …
  • Hi,

    Check out the TppReport.PreviewFormSettings.WindowState property. Setting
    this property to wsMaximized will cause the preview form to load maximized
    by default. This is a published property so it is available in the Delp…
  • Hi Malcolm,

    Thanks for the description, now I see what is happening. Unfortunately,
    this is one of the limitations of rotating traversable text. The device
    will render the text (regardless the size) to the exact location it …
  • Hi,

    Is this behavior occuring at design time or runtime? On my machine, if I
    switch back to the designer and a 45 degree rotated DBText field is null,
    the size of the control defaults to 5000 x 5000 microns or roughly 1/5 inc…
  • Hi,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Be sure you are using the
    latest version of RB (version 9.02).

  • Hi Jeff,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder and Terminal Services. We have
    many customers using Terminal Services successfully and usually the only
    problem we encounter is that the client does not have proper access…
  • Hi Jeff,

    Are your clients able to see any other objects on their reports, besides the
    memos? Are any other data fields being displayed correctly? If so, you
    need to take a look at the data angle. ReportBuilder uses the same…

  • Hi Gary,

    Try placing the two bottom variables inside a TppRegion and set the region
    to ShiftRelativeTo the stretching memo. This should give you the effect you
    are after.

  • Ivan,

    The language property is part of the TppReport object. The example I sent
    you does not use this object so changing the language for a stand along
    query designer will need to be done manually by you in code.

  • Hi Ivan,

    Sorry, this is only an example to get you started. You will need to alter
    the language manually in code.

  • Hi Ivan,

    Take a look at the following example. It shows you how to use the query
    designer separate of report builder to construct sql code.

  • Hi Thad,

    Where are you placing the background image? I would suggest placing it in
    the Page Style band. This band by default will print behind everything in
    your report on every page. You might also try upgrading your versi…

    Where are you making the calculations for the summary band variable? If
    these calculations are being made inside the OnCalc event of of another
    variable (perhaps in the detail band), you can update the value of th…
