  • Hi,

    Try setting the Report.CachePages property to True. Also, try updating your
    version of ReportBuilder and see if the problem still exists.

  • Hi Gilbert,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? Starting with RB 9.01 each
    file device descends from the TppStreamDevice. This allows you to define
    the OutputStream property of each device and generate directly to …
  • Hi Dan,

    ReportBuilder simply steps through the data as it is given while the report
    is generating. You need to be sure you are ordering your dataset on the
    grouping field for the groups to display correctly in RB.

  • Hi Paolo,

  • Hi Paolo,



    What types of problems?

    I would recommend followng the instructions below to clean a corrupt
    installation before trying to re-install RB 9.03.

  • Hi,

    Does the demo work correctly? I first recommend updating your version of
    ReportBuilder to 9.03 and testing with that. Please contact
    info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number for upgrade information.

  • Hi Dan,

    Take a look at the Master-Detail-Detail demos (dm0071.pas - dm0073.pas)
    located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory for examples on how
    to set up a report like the one you describe below.

  • Hi Dan,

    This is not a known issue. Take a look at some of the demos located in the
    \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\... directory that contain groups and see how
    they are set up. All demos with a pink square contain groups. Demos…

  • Hi Jim,

    The report wizard uses the UserName property as the name of the pipeline.
    You could either set this property manually or in code at runtime before the
    wizard is loaded.

  • Hi Shirlene,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you currently using? We had an issue
    similar to this one for some versions of RB 9. If you have not already, I
    would suggest updating your version of ReportBuilder to 9.03 or h…
  • Hi Sven,

    RAP will recognize all classes registered with Delphi and their published
    properties. However their methods are not available. You will need to
    create a RAP pass-thru to expose the Open routine of the TQuery.

  • Hi David,

    You could create multiple ADOConnection objects inside your application,
    each connecting to a different datasource. Then inside the DataSettings
    dialog, your users would be able to select which connection they would…
  • Hi Paolo,

    1. This is not a known issue. Are you able to recreate this issue with a
    simple example (i.e. report with one DBText in the Detail Band)? Are you
    loading this report from a template file? Also, are you certain th…
  • Hi Pat,

    ReportBuilder supports the drawing of horizontal and vertical lines only.
    Lines drawn at a given angle are not currently a feature of the line
    component. One option would be to draw an angled line as a bitmap and use …
  • Hi Marie,

    You would want to place the subreports inside the detail band of your
    report. I just sent you an example demonstrating this. Let me know if it
    helps.

  • Hi Marie,

    One other option to explore would be to create your report with two
    side-by-side subreports. There is an example of a report like this located
    in the /RBuilder/Demos/1. Reports directory. Take a look at demo 73
  • Hi Marie,

    How are the variables being calculated? Does their value depend on the
    detail data? Note that anything inside the PageStyle band will print before
    the rest of the report so some values may not be available when the…
  • Hi,

    For future reference, we prefer that you use your real name when posting to
    these newsgroups.

    You will need to use the OnCalc event of a TppVariable in order to ensure
    that the event fires only once per traversa…
  • Hi Luis,

    What type of query are you trying to execute (as in what type of data do you
    wish to display). Ideally you would calculate these values before the
    report is generated. If you would like to execute a query every time…
  • Hi Max,

    For ReportBuilder 9 it was required that you add ppPDFDevice to your uses
    clause to register the device at runtime. Take a look at the TppPDFDevice
    topic in the ReportBuilder help for a code example. Since you are us…
  • Hi Tor,

    The native PDF device was added for ReportBuilder 9 :).

  • Hi John,

    The safest place to initialize a variable would be before making a call to
    Report.Print. If you must initialize after this call, I would recommend
    trying the Report.BeforePrint event.

  • Hi Paolo,

    Are you loading templates? As a test, try commenting out all your event
    code and see if the field will show up. If it does, then periodically begin
    adding your code back to isolate the problem. Are you able to rec…
  • Yes :).

  • Hi Robert,

    The TdaSQLBuilder object is not a visual component in ReportBuilder. It
    needs to be created and used at runtime in code.

    in Passing search fields to rtm report Comment by nicocizik April 2006
  • Hi Robert,

    Take a look at the TdaSqlBuilder object included in RB 9 or higher. This
    object allows you to manually add search criteria to your DataViews in DADE
    very easily. You could for instance, retrieve the search paramet…
  • Hi Jeanette,

    This is not a ReportBuilder error. Which database/connectivity are you
    using? If I understand correctly, this error occurs when you try to access
    a blob field of a dataset whose primary key is an Auto-Increment …
  • Hi Vlad,

    Take a look at demo 124 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports\....
    directory. (dm0124.pas). This shows how to manually print a list of pages
    directly to the printer..
