  • Hi Kevin,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Are you loading a template
    before printing\previewing this report?

    As a test, try placing a breakpoint on the line of code below. It should
    fire once for eac…

  • Hi,

    Take a look at the TppCustomPrintDialog class located inside the ppForms.pas
    file. This class includes a number of routines that are virtual abstract.
    You will need to be sure you implement each one of thes routines in yo…
  • Hi,

    What code have you overridden in your custom print dialog? Are you able to
    trace into your code and find out where the problem is occuring with respect
    to the original print dialog?

  • Hello,

    If you remove the modified preview dialog and use the native one do you
    still get the error? How is your custom preview dialog different from the
    original?

  • Hi Marcos,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? In my testing with RB 10 and
    Delphi 7, the EAN 13 barcode seemed to work correctly. Note that this
    barcode requires 12 or 13 digits in the data field in order to rende…
  • Hi Van,

    Welcome to ReportBuilder! I would first suggest working through the
    tutorials given inside the ReportBuilder Developer's Guide located in the
    \RBuilder\Developer's Guide\... directory. These tutorials give you the
  • Hi Paul,

    ReportBuilder 10 supports TeeChart 7.06. Which version of Delphi are you
    using? Is there somewhere in the help file that says TeeChart 7.05? Try
    uninstalling both and reinstalling TeeChart 7.06, then reinstalling R…
  • Hi Koen,

    Try setting the StretchWithParent property of the shape to True. Also be
    sure ParentWidth and ParentHeight are set to True as well for a true border.

  • Hi Tom,

    This is not a known issue with the TppImage component. If you would like,
    you can send me a copy of the image you are trying to load and I can try it
    here on my machines. Please send the image in .zip format to
  • Hi Tom,

    First try loading the WMF file into a Delphi TImage. ReportBuilder uses a
    similar method to display images on a report.

    in Loading metafile Comment by nicocizik February 2006
  • Hi Tom,

    The only way to load a Windows Meta File into a report is using the TppImage
    component. There is a tutorial located on page 282 that describes how this
    might be done. The name of the tutorial is "Forms Emulation wit…
  • Hi Bharathi,

    1. Please upgrade to RB 9.03 and see if that helps the issue.

    2. If your report is set to TwoPass, the EndOfSecondPass event will not
    fire untill you have paged through the entire report in the preview or w…
  • Hi Jason,

    From your descriptions, everything should be working correctly. We have no
    known issues of this kind currently in ReportBuilder. Take a look at the
    example below which successfully creates a group in a master-detai…
  • Hi Jason,

    The pipeline linking should not have an effect as long as your detail
    dataset is ordered on the linking field. Are you grouping on a field in the
    detail or master dataset? Which field are you linking your master an…
  • Hi Jason,

    If you are grouping on the EmpCode field, then the Surname should not have
    an effect on the group. Are you certain that the data entries with O'LO and
    OLL have unique EmpCode entries? Take a look at Demo 61 in the …
  • Hi Jason,

    Are you grouping on a unique foreign key field? Also be sure you are
    ordering your dataset on this field. ReportBuilder simply looks at the
    grouping field and continues to print the group until the record changes i…

  • Hi Nick,

    Although this is not a built-in feature of the ReportBuilder email, it is
    definitely possible to email separate invoices to each individual recipient
    by generating a new report for each customer. This would consist o…

  • Hi Nick,

    If you have created a descendent to the TppFileDevice class, you can
    register that with the report devices and it will automatically show up in
    the list of file types. Otherwise, you will need to create a custom Prin…
  • Hi Glenn,

    By "Turning the band off" do you mean you are setting all the component's
    visble properties to False? Just from reading your description below, my
    first guess would be that you have a TwoPass report and are setting …
  • Hi Ian,

    There is a patch available for this issue and it will be fixed for the next
    maintanence release RB 10.01.

  • Hi Matthew,

    The zoom percentage of the preview window can be defined using the
    Report.PreviewSettings.ZoomPercentage property. You can also control the
    window state of the Preview using the Report.PreviewSettings.WindowState …
  • Hi Ennio,

    Take a look at the following example of calculation the percentage of a
    group total and a report total as the report generates. Note that you will
    need to use LookAhead variables with a two pass report to make these…
  • Todd,

    As I mentioned before, the only version of ReportBuilder that natively
    supports TeeChart 7.06 is RB 10.x. Using TeeChart 7.06 with RB 7.04 is not
    recommended and not a tested or supported combination. I strongly recomm…
  • Hi Todd,

    ReportBuilder 10.01 fully supports TeeChart 7.06. Take a look at the
    ReportBuilder Reference | TeeChart | Delphi X |... section in the
    RBuilder.hlp file for the versions of TeeChart that are supported for your

  • Hi Anila,

    Sorry, but currently ReportBuilder does not support BiDiMode or
    unicode/multi-byte character sets. I am also not aware of any add-ons that
    provide this support. ReportBuilder 7.04 was the last release for Delphi 5.…
