  • Hi Daniel,

    For future reference, please send all attachments to
    support@digital-metaphors.com.

    If you set the visibility of the JITPipeline to False, the designer will no
    longer recognize it as a valid pipeline opti…
  • Hi Carl,

    The ArchivePageCount does not update until the file has been opened by the
    archive reader. However, it retrieves the page count from the archive file
    header information in the following manner. You can do something …
  • Hi,

    Ok, the reason you are getting this error is that no default printer is
    installed for the user account under which the web app is executing. Try
    installing a printer driver and see if that solves the problem.

  • Hi,

    Sorry for the delay in this response... I did not see your original post
    last week.

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder. If you set your debugger to
    stop on exceptions, are you able to trace into the R…
  • Hi Benton,

    You can use the Report.AbsolutePageNo property to find the current page. If
    you set your report to be a two pass report, you can also determine the
    AbsolutePageCount as the report is generating after the first pass…
  • Hi Brian,

    DADE simply communicates with your TDBISAMDatabase object to determin where
    the tables are located. If you want to change the location where DADE can
    access these tables, you will need to change the Directory proper…
  • Hi Brian,

    There are examples of using each individual DADE plugin located in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\4. EndUser Databases\... directory. For instance, if you
    are connecting to an Access table via ADO, you would place an ADOConnec…
  • Hi Brian,

    Yep I completely missunderstood :). ReportBuilder is set up to support
    complete separation betwee…
  • This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
  • Hi David,

    After the report begins to print, the TppPrinter.GetPrinterSetup method is
    called numerous times and it appears that the BeforePrint event is fired in
    between some of these calls, causing the papernames list to reset…
  • Hi David,

    Sorry for the delay in this response, my news reader originally did not pick
    up on this post.

    In my testing, placing the call "ppPrinters.Refresh;" into the
    OnPrintDialogCreate seemed to work correctly. W…
  • Hi John,

    Unfortunately the RichText editor that is included with ReportBuilder is not
    that sophisticated. You might try taking a look at InfoPower or WPTools.
    They both offer a more advanced RichText editor and feature set. …
  • Hi John,

    I'm a bit unclear about what you are trying to do. Are you trying to line a
    mailmerge field with the rest of a richtext document and certain tabs?
    Please let me know a little more about what you would like your repor…
  • Hi Jeff,

    Take a look at the following example. This shows how to create a dynamic
    table of contents based on the data in your report.

  • Hi Thomas,

    Unfortunately with the current archetecture of the ReportBuilder language
    resources, it is not possible to link in multiple language resource files
    into the same .exe file.

  • Hi,

    This is most likely a database or network issue. Is your data kept locally
    or on a server? If is is kept on a server, try creating a sample app that
    connects to data locally and see if the speed issue still exists. You …
  • Hi Filip,

    Would it be possible to use the TppDesigner.OnCreateComponent and
    OnAssignField events to retrieve the display format of the TField object and
    assign it to the DisplayFormat property of the DBText? The
    OnCreat…
  • Hi Filip,

    The daIBExpress.pas file is used exclusively by DADE so if you are looking
    to change the RB source... this could be the place to do it.

    Sorry, I'm still a bit unclear about what exactly you would like to happen.…
  • Hi Filip,

    Sorry for the delay.

    I am unaware of the TField.DisplayFormat property. Is this a property of a
    descendent to the TField class?

    The TppField.DisplayFormat property is used when manually creating the …
  • Hi Filip,

    The display format is determined based on the datatype of the field that is
    being displayed. This is all done in the ppDisplayFormat.pas file. If you
    would like to customize the way ReportBuilder handles individual…
  • Hi,

    Take a look at the following example. It shows how to shade every other
    detail row in a report. You can do something similar in your case.

  • Hi Austin,

    Are you using the latest version of ReportBuilder (9.02)? If not, please
    upgrade to the latest version and re-test your report.

    --
  • Hi Austin,

    This is not a known issue with RB 9.02. Does this happen if you are not
    using InfoPower? If possible please construct a small example demonstrating
    this behavior using the DBDEMOS database and send it in .zip form…
  • Hi Arturo,

    Inside the OnCalc event of the variable in the detail band, update the value
    of another variable located inside the group footer band. Be sure the
    timing of the initial variable is set to traversal.

    proc…
  • Hi,

    Thanks for your interest in ReportBuilder. It is currently on our todo list
    to possibly update the look and feel of the designer for the next major
    release.

  • Hi Shanil,

    If you have your report set to TwoPass, ReportBuilder will traverse all you
    data once before displaying the first page, then traverse the data again as
    you view them. The danger in using the OnPrint event rather th…
  • Hi Shanil,

    Where is the totalling variable located? Please download a trial copy of RB
    9.02 and test with that. There have been many fixes having to do with
    variable calculations since version 6.03.

  • Hi Fred,

    ReportBuilder does not contain any features to do this however it is
    possible to alter the print job priority using the Windows API. You may
    want to take a look at the SetJob call.

  • Hi Louis,

    ReportBuilder uses the same API calls to print to the screen as it does the
    printer. Usually when the output differs from the screen to printer, there
    is some event code either executing or not executing that is cau…
  • Hi Louis,

    Be sure your bottom margins are large enough to prevent any report
    components from printing into the unprintable area defined by the speicific
    printers you are using. This area is usually different for every printer…
