Hi Felipe,
The PageStyle is used primarily for watermarks and form lines that need to
print on every page of a report. See the TppPageStyle topic in the
ReportBuilder help file for more information.

Hi Nick,
Unfortunately if a text component's Visibility is set to False, the report
engine will ignore them and the drawcommand will not be created. You might
try using the Report.BeforePrint event to check the device typeHi Michael,
ReportBuilder prints your report as is so it assumes you are using extra
wide paper when you change the PaperWidth property. Take a look at the
following example on how to create a spreadsheet style report that ex…Hi Martha,
Instead of using DBCalc objects, try using a couple TppVariables. For
instance, place one invisible TppVariable inside the detail band and in its
OnCalc event update the value of the other TppVariable inside the gr…Hi Martha,
I have not heard of this issue. Which database/connectivity are you using?
Is the data being accessed over a network?
I'm a bit confused about your output. Are you printing amount1 or amount2
or b…Hi Sue,
Unfortunately RAP does not support the Delphi DaysBetween routine. In order
to access this functionality in RAP, you can create a pass-thru function.
Below is an example of a pass-thur function given by another custom…Hi Peter,
DBMemos are not supported in TextFile export. Simply setting the file
extension to .csv does not make the text file created a valid csv file. The
comma delimited files ReportBuilder exports are very similar to csv …Hi Peter,
Are you exporting to a Text File? If so, this text file is not meant to be
.csv compatable. If you look at the text file (using Notepad), is there
data missing? My suggestion is that if you would like to see your …Hi,
Memo objects are not supported for export to a comma delimited text file.
You can try using a DBText object instead that is hidden when printed to the
screen instead.

Hi Kei,
I'm a bit unclear about what is happening here. Is this a wrapped text
label containing two lines or are there multiple label objects in a column,
each representing a row? Perhaps a little more explaination on what y…Hi Marc,
Your custom AutoSearch forms should migrate without any problems. This

in printing a header page Comment by nicocizik September 2005Hi Marc,
We do not know of any major issues when upgrading your reports from 7.04 to
9.02. A couple things to be aware of...
The design control archetecture has been enhanced so any custom components
you were using…Hi Marc,
One option is to consider upgrading to RB 9.02. RB 9 introduced the
PageBreak object that allows you to force a page break where ever you need
on your report.
You may also try placing Sectiong style subrep…Hi Richard,
As a test try commenting out all your event handlers and see if that solves
the issue. If it does, periodically begin adding the event code back to
isolate the problem.

This is normal behavior. The ReprintOnSubsequent property is supposed to be
used in conjunction with the SuppressRepeatedValues property. See the
TppDBText.ReprintOnSubsequent topic in the ReportBuilder help for mor…Hi Patti,
Did you try adding SQL code similar to the psuedo code I gave below? I
believe SQL Server supports this type of action.

in Creating a "Top 10" list Comment by nicocizik September 2005Hi,
Which database are you currently using? I believe it is possible to add a
calculated field to the ORDER BY section in most databases.

The best way to display the top ten records in your dataset would be to
order the data by the field that determines the ranking. Then you can limit
the number of records ReportBuilder traverses using a search condit…Hi Bill,
The query designer does not currently contain support for Union. You will
need to manually edit the SQL if you wish to use this command.

Hi Ronhald,
I'm a bit unclear about what you mean by "report doesn't keep order and
location". Are the report objects printing in the wrong place on the page?
Are the fields out of order on the page? How is your report set u…Hi Bill,
After further research, I found that this is a known design-time ADO bug.
We are unable to reproduce this a runtime making it very difficult to debug
(or even determine whether it is in fact a ReportBuilder issue). N…Hi Bill,
1. If you are using DADE, you should not need the ADODataSet, DataSource,
DBPipeline combination any more. All of this will be handled by
ReportBuilder.
2. After removing the above objects, are you able …Hi Louis,
ReportBuilder uses the most common/generic Windows API commands which in
turn communicate with your printer driver. It is up to the creator of the
printer driver to support these commands properly. In the past we h…Hi Louis,
Unfortunately some printers have issues with grey and transparent objects.
ReportBuilder does not communicate directly with your printer, it uses
built-in Windows API calls which then communicate with your printer dr…Hi Walt,
Do you want to sort this using SQL code or Delphi code? I believe every
database is different, for instance Oracle will sort lowercase first but
there is a function to ignore this and convert all to uppercase.

Unfortunately it is not possible to disable the edit toolbar. One note,
ReportBuilder uses the TppField.Fieldalias property to populate this
combobox.

We have not encountered this issue before. What is the datatype of the
field you want to display? Which version of ReportBuilder are you using?
Are you certain the field in question is selected in your dataset? Ar…Hi Marcelo,
Sorry, my mistake. This could also indicate that the original template was
saved with a reference to this event and it no longer exists or was renamed
in your application. As a test, try saving the template in AS…Hi Marcelo,
This error indicates there is a problem inside the RAP event
BeforeOpenDataPipelines. Perhaps the report template you are loading was
saved with some invalid RAP code and under the name ppReport2. Try loading
