  • Hi Roj,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder, however there were numerous
    bugs addressed after the release of RB 7.04. Is there a certain report that
    is loading when the exception occures every time? Is there somethi…
  • Hi Russell,

    Yes, this is the correct way of accessing the preview form from the report.

  • Hi Debbie,

    You could try to approach this in two ways.

    1. Inside the GroupFooter.BeforePrint event, if the record type is 0, set
    the visibility of the band to false and save a copy of the DBCalc's value in
    a private…
  • Hi Florian,

    Yes, I would suggest creating a report object loop inside the template
    OnLoadEnd event to reveal the checkbox and assign its properties as you
    need. See the following articles below for more information on perform…
  • Hi Luiz,

    Try placing one TppVariable inside your detail band and one in your Footer
    band set to reset on page end. Then inside the first TppVariable.OnCalc
    event, update the value of the second TppVariable with the sum.
  • Hi Bob,

    In my testing, exporting the 5160 address labels to PDF seemed to work
    correctly. If you place a shape inside the detail band with its parent
    width and parent height set to true, will the shape drift downward as well?…
  • Hi Seek,

    Unfortunately there is no way to set the initial value of a
    TppSystemVariable. You could however use a TppLabel or TppVariable instead
    and set it's value with respect to the current page number. For instance...
  • Hi Will,

    Try changing your library path from \RBuilder\Lib to \RBuilder\Souce. This
    should then let you step into the RB code and see where the problem is
    occuring if your debugger is set to stop on exceptions. Also, if you …
  • Hi Steffen,

    Unfortunately, the RAP IDE was not designed to give you access to that
    TabSet. We will change this for the next release. In the mean time, a
    round about way of getting access to that TTabSet would be to use the <…
  • Hi Steffen,

    These can be accessed using the TppDesigner.TabSet property. This is a
    Delphi TTabSet object.

  • Hi Steffen,

    Which tab set are you speaking of? The tab set to get to the code module?
    The tab set to change which subreport you are viewing, or the tab set in the
    code toolbox? If you want control of the tabs at the top of t…
  • Hi Matt,

    When are you setting the command text at run time? Be sure the dataset is
    open after you set the SQL text. From what you describe, it seems
    ReportBuilder is just not getting any data due to a connection failure
  • Hi David,

    Looking at the RefreshPrinters procedure, it looks as though it begins by
    freeing the uPrinter variable then clearing the existing printer list before
    reconstructing the list from scratch. If I were to guess, I woul…
  • Hi Martha,

    When creating field links, you generally want to make a one to many
    relationship between the Master field and the Detail field. From what I can
    see all of your linking fields are many to many. This is probably con…
  • Hi Martha,

    Looking at your SQL, it does not look like you are sorting your detail band
    on the linking field(s). Coincidentally, it looks like the sort order is
    descending in which case you would need to set the
    TppMaste…
  • Hi,

    Try reinstalling the TeeChart packages manually for version 6.01. The
    packages are located in the \RBuilder\TeeChart\Tee600\... directory. You
    will want to open and compile the following packages in this order...
  • Hi Geovany,

    TeeChart 6.01 pro is compatable with ReportBuilder 9.02. Please be sure you
    have this version of TeeChart installed before installing ReportBuilder to
    your machine. If you are still unable to get it working, try …
  • Hi Marie,

    I believe we added the CharWrap feature for a very select group of users.
    On my machine, the CharWrap feature does not function correctly unless
    WordWrap is set to True as well, and AutoSize is set to false. I am st…
  • Hi Marie,

    Changing the reset component should not affect the output in your case. I
    would leave it where it is. Dropping the word wraps from the text may have
    an effect but it should not cause the behavior you are getting.
  • Hi Marie,

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

    Looking at the screenshots and provided code, I cannot see any problems that
    would lead to this behavior. The fact that …
  • Hi Marie,

    Try placing a break point inside the OnCalc event of ppVariable2 and check
    the value of ownername after it is set. Also, be sure the ppVariable is set
    to a String DataType and instead of setting the ppVariable2.Text…
  • Hi Gustavo,

    The richtext component is stretchable and if the Stretch property is set to
    True, will size itself to the size of the text inside. However, the footer
    band is not a dynamic height band. As an alternative, you wil…
  • Hi George,

    Inside the Donation Number DBText.OnCreateDrawCommand, you can access the
    draw command before it is printed to screen or printer. From here, it would
    be possible to move the text down to line up with the rest of th…
  • Hi George,

    If your data is sorted on the Donation Number, you are going to want to
    create a group based on that field. This can be done using the groups
    dialog (Report | Groups|... option from the designer menu). Simply set …
  • Hi Olaf,

    1. Be sure the TitleBand.NewPage is set to False. What is in your report
    after the Title Band? If for instance you have a subreport or a region with
    its KeepTogether property set to True, the page will break if the…
  • Hi George,

    In my testing with a simple report, the OnStartPage seems to fire before the
    page is started. You may however try checking the Band.OutOfSpace property
    to determine when a page break will occure.

  • Hi Frank,

    Unfortunately the built-in PDF Device in ReportBuilder 9 does not support
    vector graphics export. This is currently on our todo list of items to be
    researched and possibly added to a later release of RB.

  • Hi Kevin,

    ReportBuilder 9.x introduced the new Anchors feature which allows you to
    anchor a report object to a side or two adjacent sides of its parent. In
    other words, if you were to anchor your shape to the bottom and righ…
  • Hi Matthew,

    To install BuilderControls into ReportBuilder, simply unzip the proper zip
    file according to the version of ReportBuilder you currently use. Then
    making sure the folder you unzipped the files into is in your Delph…
  • Hi Richard,

    The RichText editor included with ReportBuilder uses the TCustomRichEdit
    class as the main text editor. If you would like to see the source code and
    design of this feature, take a look at the ppRichEd.pas file in …
