    Ok, sorry after further research it seems that the final place this value is
    set to "New Report" is in the TppReportExplorer.ReportCreateDialogEvent.
    There is currently not good event to use when a label (or any othe…

    name you want inside the TppDesigner.Show event. This will change the

  • Hi Kristof,

    Since you are trying to keep a sum outside the actual subreport, you will
    need to use two TppVariables rather than a DBCalc component. A sum can
    easily be calculated by placing one TppVariable in the DetailBand of…

  • Hi K,

    ReportBuilder was not designed to handle dynamic data during the generation
    process. This tends to confuse the report engine and give adverse output.
    RB definitely handles itself better when all data processing is done …

  • Hi Martha,

    1. Try checking the TppGroupFooterBand.OverFlow property. This will
    indicate that a stretchable component within the band has run out of space.
    If this property is true, you can set the visibility of the pagebreak …

  • Hi Michael,

    If your sure the table name is correct and you are not using the
    DataDictionary, the only other thing that could be causing this error is
    that for some reason, ReportBuilder is unable to access your database.

  • Hi Arturo,

    You can place a TppPageBreak component inside the detail band after the
    detail information. This will cause the page to break after every detail
    band is printed.

  • Hi Jeff,

    If you place all the objects in your detail band into a TppRegion object,
    then set the TppRegion to KeepTogether, the detail band will essentially
    stay together across page breaks.

    Try placing a DBCalc component inside the group footer set to calculate the

  • Hi Tony,

    A Null record contains an undefined value which we decided to display as an
    empty string when designing ReportBuilder. Since "0" is a defined numeric
    value, it did not make sense to display nulls as "0" or even give …
