  • Hi Branden,

    Inside the OnGetText event of the DBText component, try checking if the
    field value is null. If it is, change the text value to 0.

    If you are seeing a descrepancy between two values with the same datatype
    and display format, please send a small example demonstrating this to

  • Hi Terry,

    ReportBuilder uses the FloatToStrF method to format and round all values
    with a display format. See this topic in the delphi help for more
    information on how it works. Be sure your TppVariable is defined with the <…
  • Hello,

    This is not a known issue with the ReportBuilder PDF export feature. If you
    are using a third party export utility such as TExtraDevices, you will need
    to contact their support directly (support@waler.com). I believe …
  • Hello,

    ReportBuilder will complete printing before any Delphi code after the
    Report.Print command is executed. The setup you describe below should work
    correctly.

  • Hi,

    ReportBuilder 9 or higher includes built in support for the export to PDF.
    For help and examples, please see the "ppPDFDevice" topic in the

  • Hi Dirk,

    ReportBuilder 9 includes a built in inspector that is very similar to the
    Delphi Object Inspector and is part of the Report Tree window (View |
    ToolBars | Report Tree... from the designer main menu). Using this

    Try the following configuration with your DBCalc component located in the
    Group Header...

    DBCalcType = dcCount (Count)

    If you have installed the Spanish language resource files along with the
    English ones when you installed, all you should have to do is change the
    TppReport.Language property to enable the Spanish translation. (lgSpan…
  • Hi Jacky,

    ReportBuilder was designed so it is easy to loop through all the components
    in a report using the Bands and Objects lists. See the following article
    for more information.

  • Hi,

    ReportBuilder 9 or higher includes a new PageBreak report component. I
    would suggest upgrading if you need this feature.

  • Hi Ronald,

    Usually when the previewed output does not match the printed output, there
    is some event code firing somewhere causing this behavior. As a test, try
    commenting out all your event code and re-print your report. If …

  • Hi Steve,

    Try checking the TppFileDevice.FileName property of the specific file device
    you are using in the AfterPrint Event.

    (Instead of TppFileDevice, use your specific device type)

  • Hi Svein,

    Unfortunately, the Report Designer does not allow for this type of
    operation. My suggestion would be to research finding a small inexpensive
    PDF editior to allow your users to make minor alterations to their reports…
  • Hi Craig,

    Try setting the TppDBPipeline.SkipWhenNoRecords property of your detail
    datapipeline to False. This should solve the problem you are having.

    This is not a known issue with the TppVariable. Which version of
    ReportBuilder are you using? What calculations are you making inside the

  • Hi Santy,

    Yes, I received your example, however my answer still remains the same. The
    pipeline events have no knowledge of pagination in a report. This is the
    reason your report works correctly until a page break occurs. To…
  • Hi Santy,

    The datapipeline does not have a concept of pagination so these events will
    fire regardless. This is probably the reason you are getting incorrect
    results when the page breaks.

    Unfortunately there is no real way to "split" a report into multiple reports
    unless you are using separate individual subreport objects. I would suggest
    creating two pieces to this project, one that prints your enti…

  • Hi Susie,

    Inside the DetailBand.BeforePrint event, you can check the

    visibility of the time field to False.
