  • Hi Terry,

    There are no known issues like this one with RB 9.02. Are you able to test
    this error on your machine? If so can you trace into the RB source where
    the error occurs?

  • Hi Joel,

    Although I have not tested the PDF export with intraweb, we do have many
    customers using it. I was able to test an ISAPI web app with our report
    server using IIS and this seemed to work correctly. This may have some…
  • Hi Joel,

    If possible, please set your library path to point to \RBuilder\Source\ and
    set your debugger to stop on exceptions. Then try to trace into the
    RBuilder source when the error occures. Let me know what you find.
  • Hi Joel,

  • Preston,

    Ok, let's start over. Please open the example located in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\3. EndUser\1. Report Explorer\... directory. Taking a look
    at the form design gives a good idea how data is flowing through an end-user
  • Hi Preston


    If you are loading templates, the datasettings will be replaced with the
    datasettings saved down with the template originally. If you are creating a
    new report from scratch the datasettings should be as you s…
  • Hi Preston,

    Perhaps I am missunderstanding what you are ultimately trying to accomplish.
    Please describe exactly what you are trying to do and I can advise on how
    you should approach the problem.

    Remember that DADE …
  • Hi Preston,

    The Data Connection settings in DADE are completely separate from the report
    and any datapipelines you have on your form. DADE enables you to create
    reports without the need of datapipelines and keep all data acce…
  • Hi Preston,

    The Data Dictionary is to be used with DADE (the data tab of the report
    designer). If you move to the data tab and try to add a new dataview, you
    will see that the table you have selected in your Data Dictionary i…

    The Learning ReportBuilder help file is included with the Learning
    ReportBuilder application and can be downloaded from the following web site.

  • Hi Vincent,

    I am still unclear about what is happening. If for instance you set the
    PrintCount to "10", will you see more or less than 10 details per page?

  • Hi Vincent,

    This is not a known issue nor am I able to recreate it using the latest
    version of ReportBuilder. Is the detail band printing in its entirety even
    thought the PrintCount property is set to a smaller number? Are y…
  • Hi Jamie,

    ReportBuilder 9 now includes the TdaSQLBuilder object which allows you to
    easily access and modify the SQL object without having to pick appart the
    extremely complicated TdaSQL class. Take a look at the TdaSQLBuilde…
  • Hi Barry,

    Sorry, I'm a bit confused about the issue. Did any DataPipelines dissapear
    from your application when you upgraded to RB 9.02? How does this specific
    application work? (i.e. are you loading templates from a databas…
  • Hi Eric,

    Try using the Report.StartPage to keep track of the number of copies a page
    has been printed. Then change the printer bin from there if you are on a
    separate copy. For instance...

    procedure TForm1.ppRepor…
  • Hi Rick,

    Unfortunately, if you would like to traverse and display separate sections
    of the same dataset, you will need to split that dataset up and use
    subreports. My suggestion would be to have 6 separate datasets, 1 master …
  • Hi Etienne,

    If there is not enough room for the summary band to fit on the last page,
    ReportBuilder will place it on a new page. You can then control where on
    the new page you would like it to print using the PrintPosition pr…
  • Hi Steffen,

    This is not a known issue, nor am I able to recreate it on my machine. If
    you stop on the exception are you able to trace into the code that is
    causing the error?

  • Hi Nick,

    Unfortunately ReportBuilder was not designed to traverse data in horizontal
    columns. There is no built in feature for a horizontal column header. You
    may be able to create these column header labels manually and pos…
  • Hi Tyler,

    In order to successfully export text objects to a text file, you will need
    to set the Save property of each text object to True. This will let the
    text device know to export that specific text object. You can also …
  • Hi Tyler,

    I do not see your original post on our server. It may have been deleted.

  • Hi Dan,

    You need to be sure you are ordering your dataset on the grouped field.
    ReportBuilder simply traverses the data it is given first to last. If the
    data is not ordered on the grouped field, it will most likely break for…

  • Hi JC,

    Take a look at Demo 135 (dm0135.pas) located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1.
    Reports\... directory. This will give you a good idea how this is to be
    done.

  • Hi Sven,

    If you have the Report.SaveAsTemplate property set to True, the user will be
    asked if they would like to save if they have changed the report and are
    closing the designer. Is this the functionality you are after?
  • Hi David,

    I apologise, this is just the way ReportBuilder was designed to work. When
    a TppVariable is reset, the Clear routine is called setting the DateTime
    value to Now(). This is located in the ppVar.pas file if you would…
  • Hi David,

    By default, when a dtTime field is reset, it will automatically be set to
    the current time. When are you resetting this variable? Why not just add
    an "else" statement below your if condition in the OnCalc setting t…
  • Hi,

    You can try connecting to the Screen device's OnReceive page event to get a
    hold of the draw commands being sent to each individual page. Then you can
    alter them as you need. The events of the screen device are not publi…
  • Hi Kumar,

    A printer driver is required by ReportBuilder to produce output to a printer
    device. ReportBuilder by design uses the Windows API to communicate with
    your printer driver which in turn sends commands to your printer.…
  • Hi Roj,

    The version of ReportBuilder released after 7.04 was the next major release
    of the product (RB 9). This version included numerous improvements and
    fixes for issues we found in the previous version. Based on the descr…
