  • Hi Richard,

    Instead of having the TppRegion stretch with parent, try setting its Stretch
    property to True. In my testing this kept the region together inside a
    child subreport. You may also try setting the Subreport.Keeptoge…
  • Hi,

    If you place a shape with its StretchWithParent set to True inside a Region
    with Stretch set to True, the shape will grow with the Region. Note however
    that a region can act as a shape as well.

    You may also con…
  • Hi,

    The ideal time to create a static object in a report is before Report.Print
    is called. You may also be able to accomplish this using an early event
    such as the Report.BeforePrint event.

  • Hi Eugene,

    Unfortunately this is not currently a feature of the crosstab component.
    You might take a look at the third party component Grid Pack. I believe
    they have a more customizable crosstab component available.

  • Hi Daniel,

    I would suggest downloading a trial version of ReportBuilder 9.03 Enterprise
    for Delphi 6 and running the EndUser demo located in the /RBuilder/Demos/3.
    End User/... directory. This will give you a complete view of…

    on a page. Hope this helps...

    the tables/field/joins your users see and use. To enable DADE for the

  • Hi Eric,

    Unfortunately embedded queries are very limited in the data workspace
    (limited just to a search expression). The SQL code below will need to be
    created manually. If you need some examples of linking datasets after <…
  • I apologize for the confusion. The reason I asked for the error message
    again is that I am unable to recreate this error on my machine with SQL code
    almost identical to your own. I wanted you to re-state it in case there was
    some…
  • Hi Bin,

    Sorry, I did not see that ORDER BY 5 was not working. What error are you
    receiving? In my testing with SQL Server, the order by is working
    correctly. In the calc tab of the Query Designer, you can assign your own
  • Hi Bin,

    Be sure the calculated field is not being assigned an alias. You may also
    try, ORDER BY 5.

  • Hi Silvester,

    Are you using a registered version of ReportBuilder or an application with
    ReportBuilder built-in? The OnCalc event is available in Delphi as an event
    associated with the TppVariable component. You can access i…
  • Hi Silvester,

    Two options...

    1. If you would like to start at "1", you can place a TppDBCalc inside the
    Detail Band and set its DBCalcType to dcCount. This will count the detail
    bands starting at 1.

  • Hi Ricardo,

    Most printers have an un-printable area or "page gutter" defined for each
    paper type. This is usually about a 1/4 inch border around the ouside of
    the paper. Setting your margins outside of this range will result…
  • Hi Kei,

    Below is some code you can use to create line drawcommands. Try the
    OnCreateDrawCommand of the memo object instead. I would definitely try
    Bob's suggestion first as it is a much simpler solution.

    lDr…
  • Hi Kei,

    My suggestion would be to first determine how many lines your memo will
    contain, then manually add line drawcommands in the places you need. You
    could possibly use the TCanvas.TextHeight routine to measure where the l…
  • Hi,

    If possible, please send a small example that demonstrates the error on your
    customer's machines to me and I'll try to recreate it on my machine. I do
    not have Firebird installed so please send the example using DBExpress…
  • Hi,

    If it works correctly on your machine and not on others, there must be
    something different about the setup of the other machines. Try to work
    through each setup of the machines that have the problem and see if you can
  • Hi,

    Are you still not able to recreate this issue on you machine? Does Firebird
    contain any kind of user access rights built into the database? If so, this
    may be the cause of the problems. It is the only thing I can think …
  • Hi,

    Are you users able to access any tables from their Firebird db from a Delphi
    app? If you send them a simple app with data access components and a
    DBGrid, will that display correctly? ReportBuilder simply accesses the dat…
  • Hi,

    If you remove the AutoSearch from the reports, do they still get the error?
    What else is different between the reports that work correctly and those
    that do not?

  • Hi,

    This was not a known issue for RB 9.02. Are you able to determine what is
    different about the computers that get the error? I would suggest upgrading
    to RB 9.03 and then sending an email to support@digital-metaphors.com …
  • Hi Cristian,

    You are using a somewhat older version of ReportBuilder which may have had
    an issue with this type of report. Perhaps the following article will help.

  • Hi Mike,

    It is possible to save and load templates as text. All you need to do is
    assign the Report.Template.Format property to ftASCII and the report will be
    saved in text format.

  • Hi,

    I'm sorry, but I'm a bit unclear about what you would like to happen. If
    you are using ReportBuilder 9 or above, you can use the Anchors feature to
    align an object to the bottom, however the Footer Band may not be the bes…
  • Hi Carlos,

    There are many reports available in the main demo application
    (\RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\...) that print a report that shows one page per
    record (or master record). I would suggest taking a look at some of these <…
