  • Hi Ricardo,

    Take a look at the TdaSQLBuilder topic in the RBuilder help file.
    TdaSQLBuilder was added for RB 9 in order to make the process of editing
    queries created in DADE easier in code. You will need to use a template
  • Hi Paul,

    This routine was enhanced for RB 7.04 and I believe the problem was fixed.
    If you cannot upgrade to RB 7.04, you may try installing RB 7.02 on your new
    machine and seeing if that helps.

    Yes I have tried this and it works like a charm :). Be sure you are calling
    inherited and that you …
  • Hi Ken,

    Try the following...

    procedure TMyPreviewPlugin.BeforePreview;
    begin
    inherited;

    Report.EmailSettings.Enabled := True;
    EmailButton.Visible := Report.EmailSettings.Enabled; //True;
  • Hi Ken,

    1. If you have multiple reports on different forms inside the same
    applicaiton, your best option would be to create a preview plugin, enabling
    Email when a Report is viewed. You could override the BeforePreview routi…
  • Hi,

    Sorry about this, the wrong .dcu files for the check box component were
    copied into the \Lib directory for the RB 10 installations. One option is
    to change your library path to \RBuilder\Source and rebuild your app, then …
  • Hi,

    we'll send it to you as soon as possible.

  • Hi Valerie,

    Unfortunately ReportBuilder does not support multi-directional or unicode
    languages. I believe we do have customers using Chineese characters in some
    of the text objects but they are limited to showing them in a L…
  • Hi Robert,

    This is an internal MAPI error indicating that there is probably an issue
    with your email client. Which email software do you have installed as your
    default on your machine? Note that the MAPI plugin is only the d…
  • You will need to check to see if the printer object is nil every time you
    use it. If it is, you will either need to create it manually or wait until
    it is created by ReportBuilder.

  • Hi Michael,

    Yes, this issue was fixed for a later release of ReportBuilder. I would
    recommend upgrading RB to the latest version (10.02). Otherwise, you will
    need to be sure the printer object has been created before using i…
  • Hi Michael,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? In later versions, I believe
    this issue was fixed. Are you able to determine what steps need to be taken
    to cause the application to fail? For instace, are you creat…
  • Hi Michael,

    Instead of using the screen canvas, try using the printer canvas. If you
    add ppPrinter to your uses clause you will have access to the
    ppPrinter.Canvas property with will measure your text more accurately with
  • Hi Michael,

    Unfortunately the AutoSize option is not taken into account until the
    component is drawn to the screen or paper. One option would be to measure
    the text manually. This can be done using the printer canvas (in pri…
  • Hi Dave,

    Some printers have issues printing grey or colored lines. If you try
    printing with a different printer do you get better results? ReportBuilder
    uses very standard Windows API calls to communicate with your printer <…
  • Hi,

    I am not aware of any issues with the TExtraDevices component however you
    may try contacting Waler support directly for a quicker response about this
    issue. support@waler.com

  • Hi,

    The upgrade to RB 9.03 is a minor (free) upgrade. There have been many
    fixes since RB 9.01 including some memory leak fixes. Please upgrade your
    version of ReportBuilder and see if this solves the problem.

    Is …
  • Hi,

    1. First, as always I recommend upgrading to the latest version. At least
    to RB 9.03. There have been many fixes since RB 9.01.

    2. How are you determining the memory usage of ReportBuilder during
    execution? …
  • Hi Israel,

    Yes, I believe the OnCalc event for a TppVariable is fired before DBCalc
    values are generated. To be sure you can try tracing these events or using
    an event tracker such as the one used in the main report demo loca…
  • Hi Israel,

    I would recommend replacing the DBCalcs with TppVariables and calculating
    their values manually. This way you can use the CalcOrder of the
    TppVariable component and be sure the two values have been calcuated before…
  • Hi Ian,

    I would recommend placing two section style subreports in the main report's
    detail band (with no other bands present). Inside the first subreport
    include the information that needs to go onto the letterhead paper. Th…
  • Hi Jon,

    Sorry for the confusion. We will update the TppPreview class to be sure it
    is fully compatable with your custom preview plugins for the next service
    release. In the mean time, I believe one of the main changes was th…
  • Hi Paul,


    Sorry about that.

    I have marked your request down and this feature will be considered for a
    later release. I am unfortunately unable to give you a time frame at this
    time but will try to keep you upd…
  • Hi Paul,

    Thanks for the feedback.

  • Hi Paul,

    The Email feature is currently not available for ReportBuilder Server. This
    is something we may add for a future release.

  • Hi Josef,

    ReportBuilder uses the Delphi StretchDraw routine to draw a scaled image to
    the screen. One thing you might try is setting the DirectDraw property of
    the image to True. This tends to help.

    Another option…
  • Hi Glenn,

    There is a patch available that may fix some of the desing issues. I do
    however believe that your template code may still be corrupt. Trying to
    recreate the report may be your best option. Before doing that though…
  • Hi Glenn,

    Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi are you currently using? Each
    subreport consists of two separate objects, the TppSubreport object (which
    is the component you see on the main report), and the TppChildReport obj…
  • Hi Bill,

    The design workspace was drastically changed for RB 9. The ppIDE file was
    removed from the product. Try simply removing it from your uses clause and
    rebuilding your app. This may fix the problem. Take a look at th…
